I saw him the other day
He looked through me and he said
"Cherish the happy hours
There's not much left" and I said
"Ok, ok buddy"
"Alright, likely story"
Found it kind of funny
Now he's dead and bloody
Some blamed the wind
Others say he leapt
We all laughed and bet on his behalf
I knew he wouldn't make it
On the ground, body splayed
Can't tell guts from his brain
We weren't shocked, he looked at peace
One guy cried, our eyes were dry
Ok ok buddy
We all saw it coming
We all watched him falling
No one was gonna catch him
Some blamed the wind
Others say he leapt
We all laughed, we bet on his behalf
I knew he wouldn't make it
He's the High wire guy
Falling far into the sky
He's the high wire guy
Falling far into the sky
He's the high wire guy
It comes as no surprise
He's the high wire guy
Falling far until he died
