How long before the pain ends
Touched your lips but never mine
Desperation leaves us clinging
Every flame that ever moved you
Every flame that ever moved you
Fall in pieces from our faces
Desperation leaves us clinging
It used to be a sweet sensation
Lovers leap off burning buildings
And lovers leap off burning buildings
No price too high for love
On the edge of a house on fire
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Waking up on a sky high wire
Waking up on a sky high wire
We read 'Do Not Disturb'
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Live our life on borrowed time
You use me under pressure
Touched your lips but never mine
Touched your lips but never mine
Tell me where living starts
Desperation leaves us clinging
And lovers leap off burning buildings
Songwriters: Elton John, Bernie Taupin
And the price is not enough
Live our life on borrowed time
On the edge of a house on fire
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Now I pay for this bitter taste
Cold stares and angry words
Lovers leap off burning buildings
No room for conversation
Desperation leaves us clinging
Others beg for just a bite
On the edge of a house on fire
Lovers leap off burning buildings
Live our life on borrowed time
Such cruel sport for your kicks
On the edge of a house on fire
To whet your appetite
Waking up on a sky high wire

Such hard knocks on my heart
Every flame that ever moved you
Waking up on a sky high wire
Some lovers just go hungry
