The Lyrics

oh yes, we're the great wallendas,
pretending to fly the trapeze,
we flip, we tuck we fall, we're muck
It's lonely, when you're up alone

oh yes we're the great wallendas,
we never use safety nets
we slip we fly, we miss, we die,
all messy, and you'll mop me up

it's real, this trapezing, not make believe
we'll feel as the steel, on the floor, hits our heels

oh yea we're the great wallendas,
we fly up above all the clowns,
we never look up, or we'll all just throw up
we're flying while you're looking down

it's real, this trapezing, not make believe
we'll feel as the steel, on the floor, hits our heels


oh yea we're the great wallendas,
we fly up above all the clowns,
we never look up, or we'll all just throw up
we're flying while you're looking down

it's real, this trapezing, not make believe
we'll feel as the steel, on the floor, hits our heels

I'd think twice before joining the family business. Nice work Malc.
