Sleepwalking (on The High Wire) Lyrics

Siouxsie & The Banshees Sleepwalking (on The High Wire)

You can see her now High as the Horizon Born into quicksand And raised on the mud

Balancing on tiptoe Sharpened to the blow In a tangle of thunder Falling helplessly below

Sleepwalking Sleepwalking on the high wire Sleepwalking Sleepwalking into the open palm of the empty sky

You can't hurt her now You can't reach her at all A spiral of persuasion Twists until freefall

Balancing on tiptoe Angles plush and slow An accident of circus Falling helplessly below

Sleepwalking Sleepwalking on the high wire Sleepwalking Sleepwalking into the open palm of the empty sky
