Whirl and twirl upon the razor's edge
Careful now, don't miss a step
Remember to smile, turn out and smile
And whatever you do, don't look down

Too afraid to simply make a choice
So light the candle at both ends
Faster, move faster, twinkle toes
Dance on and don't ever look down

Burn your bridges as soon as you cross them
Like a scarf, throw caution to the wind
Move to the music while on the tip of a knife
But never forget, don't look down

The blade is now slick with the blood of your feet
Your step is no longer so sure
Be careful, so careful, when or if you make a choice
Heed the whisper and don't look down

I've danced and spun, twisted and turned
And pulled others into my web
My feet are tired and my heart is so heavy
I cannot help it and I look down

The time to choose comes all too soon
My look into the abyss tells me so
For one can only dance on the razor's edge for so long
In the end, one always will fall
