If you wake up feeling mighty good
Get out of bed and watch some news
And you will find yourself in a different mood
If you think you're respected
Ask the man for a couple of days off
And you'll get an answer not expected
You walk the high wire, making the mistake of looking down
I give it to you brother, it sure looks like the blues is wearing her crown
When you feel like going on a fishing trip
You book a place that's really hip
But when you get there, all you do is catch the rains
You barely catch the bus to see your girl
When you realize your wallet's in the other coat
It looks tonight you ain't gonna whirl
You walk the high wire, making the mistake of looking down
I give it to you brother, it sure looks like the blues is wearing her crown
Frame, shame, cancel and gunny slander
Just trying to form an opinion
Then you see you're under the devil's dominion
So you take your motorcycle out for a trip
You plan to drive way down south
But by the end of the day you find yourself in Nazareth
You walk the high wire, making the mistake of looking down
I give it to you brother, it sure looks like the blues is wearing her crown
