Watch closely now You´ll observe a curious exchange of energy Are you a figment of my imagination Or am I one of yours? Watch closely now Are you watching me now? Your eyes are like fingers They´re touching my body And arousing my soul Riding the passion arising inside me How high can I go? You´re comin´ with me girl, I´m gonna show you how When it´s scarey, don´t look down
Watch closely now Are you watching me now? I see the hunger arise in your eyes
And it´s urging me on Higher and harder and faster and farther Than I´ve ever gone You´re coming closer lady; don´tcha leave me now We´re gonna make it, don´t look down
Maybe I´m takin´ me too many chances With no net at all Maybe I´ll teach you at least that you´ve got to be free when you fall
Watch closely now Are you watching me now? I´m the master magician Who´s setting you free From the lies you´ve been told When you´re breaking your back Bring your last straw to me
I turn straw into gold I´m gonna need you later, when you´re not around But I can take it, don´t look down
