AT FIRST IT WAS FUN

At first it was fun, I glued my feathers on
I flew up toward the sun, never getting too warm
At first the great thrill, finally the big top
I walked the high wire, never looking down
Until the day, it all fell away
Oh I miss the ride
Oh I miss the ride sometimes
At first it was grand, I led the whole band
I felt the bright lights, shining just for me
At first it was love, some sign from above
And all of the prizes were mine to be won
Until the day, it all fell away
Oh I miss the ride
Oh I miss the ride sometimes
But I promise to stay, yeah I promise to stay on the living side
I wouldn’t trade it all in
How high how low I’ve been
Broken bones aside, I miss the edge sometimes, I miss the edge
At first it was fun, I glued my feathers on
I flew up toward the sun never getting too warm
