(yo,
check
the sky)
(look up, look up)
Red and blue blur in the late night haze Leaping off the
brick into a concrete maze Fingertips sticky but the grip starts to
slip
Too many hours on this midnight trip Saving every stranger while my
own house burns Waiting for the break but the axle turns My
shoulders are heavy from the weight of the crown I'm the only
thing keeping this ceiling from falling down
I'm hanging by a thread on the edge of the sky (hanging
on,
hanging on) No time to ask how or to wonder why
This is my tangled web life Spinning through the pressure and the
daily strife
But I won't fall until I give my all
Yeah, I won't fall until I give my all
High above the street where the shadows grow
Only the sky knows the pain below
Swing through the canyons of cold gray glass Watch the headlights below
me flicker and pass My joints are aching and my mask is
wet with sweat Paying a price that I haven't even measured yet
They call me a hero but I'm tired to the bone Standing
on the spire looking down all alone But a siren wails and
the duty starts to call No,
I won't slip, I gotta give 'em my all
(swinging, swinging,
never letting go)
They see the mask,
they don't see the man
Just doing the absolute best that I can
This is my tangled web life Spinning through the pressure and the
daily strife
But I won't fall until I give my all
Yeah, I won't fall until I give my all
High above the street where the shadows grow
Only the sky knows the pain below
(my tangled web
life...) (giving my all...)
