Walking on Air

WALKING ON AIR

Skywriting: It says 'I'm wild about you'

 and I'm doing loop-de-loops
A human cannon ball sails right on through 

the 'O' of a burning hoop
The tattooed man is running out of space — 

he's really looking blue
But what I feel is written right across my face 

and he's got nothing on you

I don't need a safety net

'cause I've already fallen for you
I feel like waltzing with the dancing bear
And I don't need a tightrope 

'cause you've got me — Waltzing On Air

Daredevil he stands on the wings of a plane

 with one hand waving free
My head peaks through the stratosphere 

as I approach Zero-G
The tall-man's legs are pretty straight and true 

but he can't make it far
If I were as big as my love for you 

I'd go tripping from star to star

In the circus of life the attractions

 are all death defying

So hold unto your whip and your chair

'Cause sooner or later you'll be in the ring with a lion

Wishing you were walking on Air

Masochist Magician saws himself in half

And has half a mind to think

Strongman busts the chains around his chest 

with just a little wink

In the blink of an eye you can get a chain reaction 

Just by splitting an Atom in two

But that’s nothing compared to my death-defying 

show of attraction for you
