Madness Lyrics for Song: Tiptoes
 Lyrics for Album: The Rise & Fall [1982]
 
 
 
 18046>Waking up again another sleepless night
 
 Climbing taller buildings more dreams of flight
 
 In a pool of sweat not knowing what to do
 
 No more earth-bound feelings a diff'rent point of view
 
 
 
 Moment of truth he heads towards the building
 
 His glazed eyes stare vacantly following his feelings
 
 No turning back the door's already shutting
 
 Standing on his tiptoes to reach the nineteenth button
 
 
 
 To miss a grasping hand
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 And squash a passer-by
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 He wanted to see some evidence
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 That he could really fly
 
 
 
 Balanced on the edge only time could tell
 
 Some say he was pushed, others say he fell
 
 Standing on that rooftop his brain told him 'no'
 
 But all the dreams in nights before told him he must go
 
 
 
 To miss a grasping hand
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 And squash a passer-by
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 He wanted to see some evidence
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 That he could really fly
 
 
 
 His questions and himself
 
 Nearly fell on stony ground
 
 He could've embarrassed his family
 
 Who watched him from the crowd
 
 
 
 Balanced on the edge only time could tell
 
 Some say he was pushed, others say he fell
 
 
 
 To miss a grasping hand
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 And squash a passer-by
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 He wanted to see some evidence
 
 (I'm falling again)
 
 That he could really fly
 
 (I'm falling ...)
