Highwired Lyrics by Hanoi Rocks

Street Poetry

0

We all want something, don't we?
To realize our fantasies
You can waste a lifetime pining for the happy end

Regret can be instructive
But remorse is a waste of time
Just wake yourself up and start up livin' again

Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nothin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired

To escape is not a crime
It's hard to face life
Head-on all the time
Got to let go and get wild
Every once in a while

The band's on stage, it's starry night
The vibe's ok and we're feelin' all right
Forget your sorrow
Tomorrow's just a night away

Don't let the meanstreets get you down
There's a rock'n'roll circus in town
And we wanna sing hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nothin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired

Hey! hey!

We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance on the highwire
Ain't seen nothin' yet, no safety net
Get up and prance on the highwire
We feel the love, we see the light
We'll rock'n'roll right through the night
We got the fire, a burnin' desire
To get up and dance and get highwired
Dance and get highwired
