Tap Dancin' On a Tightrope

They all say, “live your dreams, kid” and they’re the first to kick me out the door
If I don’t bring home that paycheck, the world won’t be my friend
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Take your time to hurry up now
Pretty soon your life will be a death
Do your own thing
Fuck what they think
I’m just trying to get mine, too

I’m tap dancin’ on
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope

The world spins around a dollar sign and everyone’s trying to buy the sun
Put a price tag on the people
Known by a number not a name
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Take your time to hurry up now
Pretty soon your life will be a death
Do your own thing
Fuck what they think
I’m just trying to get mine, too
Get mine, too

I’m tap dancin’ on
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope

Livin’ once and I’m doing it for me
I don’t have time for misery
Livin’ my life how I choose to be
Livin’ once and I’m doing it for me
I don’t have time for misery
Livin’ my life how I choose to be

I’m tap dancin’ on
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope
I’m tap dancin on a tightrope
