lyrics

9 steps forward
7 steps back and I win
5 steps to the left
3 steps right I'll
fall off a cliff

irregular elegance
pirouette ends with a crash
irregular elegance
struggling up a breaking branch

tightrope's too loose
tie me a noose
tightrope's too loose
tie me a noose

9 steps forward
7 steps back and I win
5 steps to the left
3 steps right I'll
fall off a cliff

irregular elegance
pirouette ends with a crash
irregular elegance
struggling up a breaking branch

tightrope's too loose
tie me a noose
tightrope's too loose
tie me a noose

I would rather stay alive
I try all the time
I would rather stay alive
I cry all the time

I cry all the time

tightrope's too loose
tie me a noose
