I need to take a chance
Break the line
Kick up some dirt, babe
Lifeless as a stillborn child
Am I blue
Waiting to breathe for you

As I catch my breath
There's a squall
Tearing at my chest
And I'm dispossessed, dispossessed

Every time the trapeze swings my way I freeze
Should I trust the air to float me in the breeze
From up here the world is far away and small
I look down to see nothing's going to break my fall

Falter and you're good as gone
Rendezvous with nothing to hold on to
Trance like the rhythm in your head
Concentrate, imagine a feather bed

As I hit the crest
There's a thief
Yelling no contest
And I'm dispossessed, dispossessed
Every time the trapeze swings my way I freeze
Should I trust the air to float me in the breeze
From up here the world is far away and small
I look down to see nothing's going to break my fall

As I catch my breath
There's a squall
Tearing at my chest
And I'm dispossessed, dispossessed

Every time the trapeze swings my way I freeze
Should I trust the air, the whispers, just believe
From up here the world is far away and small
I look down to see nothing's going to break my fall
