  sözleri:^***
  
  we're living in a different reality
  we're toeing the same line
  we give in we call it neutrality,
  a joke with no punchline
  the silver plated hero
  meets the golden hearted whore
  the odds'll give you zero,
  she'll be leaving in a few days more
  movin' on forever, maybe she don't care
  holding on together, maybe it just ain't there
  
  you're dancing on a high wire
  you need to be so sure
  there used to be a lifeline
  there isn't anymore
  
  we are the same with no similarity,
  we talk at the same time
  we believe in freedom and charity
  as long as i get mine
  the ivory madonna is walking
  through the door
  you watch her from a window,
  it doesn't matter anymore
  moving on forever, maybe she don't care
  holding on together, maybe it just ain't there
  
  you're dancing on a high wire
  you need to be so sure
  there used to be a lifeline
  there isn't anymore
