lyrics

I am a runaway looking for a dream to steal.
My spirit's got me balancing on my heels.
I learned the tricks of the trade with great ease.
When I find my stage I will never leave.
C'est moi.

There stand two sisters, look em in their eyes.
To get a closer look I've gotta touch that sky.
They stand with courage, power, and they welcome me.
I don't mind if I do lock my lips with thee.
C'est moi.

Paris to Sydney to NYC
If it's such a crime, come on, arrest me.
Don't you tell me you're afraid, why oh why.
Lover won't you join me, as I balance in the sky.

This is a drug that I could get hooked on.
Walking with god just after dawn.
Give me your hand, or grip my toes.
A quarter of a mile below stand those who let their dreams go.

I am a runaway lookin for a dream to steal.
My spirit's got me balancing on my heels.
Rope is my highway, my feet are my wheels.
Art is life without which I could never feel.
