When I look into your eyes
It is myself in there I recognize
In every you until farewell
My padded cell for I myself
Am heaven and hell
I have balanced on the scales
My soul is now on for sale
What's past is past and what I became
Won't bare my shame
I make it always burn with the hardest flame
This world is mine for a season
And I will walk the wire
I ask and ask to find a reason
To put me out of mire
I have 1000 friends
And get back high treason
My funeral pyre
The world is mine for a season
And I will walk the wire
I shall live only for pleasure
Yield my senses with no measure
Mea culpa at least I dared
For some time I cared
As always, always is such dreadful word
This world is mine for a season
And I will walk the wire
I ask and ask to find a reason
To put me out of mire
I have 1000 friends
And get back high treason
My funeral pyre
The world is mine for a season
And I will walk the wire
