Tightrope Lyrics - Singles - Electric Light Orchestra

They say some days you're gonna win 

They say some days you're gonna lose 

I tell you I got news for you 

You're losin' all the time, you never win, no 

If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down 

Get off your tightrope up there, come down on 

The ground you gotta save me now, you better turn around 

When I looked around, I was heading down 

Won't somebody throw me down a line? 

They say some days you gotta give 

They say some days you gotta take 

If that's the way it's gotta be 

Roll it over and you will see 

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time 

The change from night to day is really only hours 

It's just along the line, can't you see the sign? 

When I looked around, I was heading down 

Won't somebody throw me down a line? 

I want to look you straight in the eye 

I want to tell you how I really feel 

And I can feel the wheels are turnin' round 

Won't somebody throw me down a line? 

The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time 

The change from night to day is really only hours 

It's just along the line, can't you see the sign? 

When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised 

Somebody had thrown me down the line, stopped me drownin' 

Somebody had thrown me down the line
