lyrics

Risky Business (c) Gail Sherman Johnson

She sends him flowers - they never reach the water
The countless hours she teeters on the wire
She's at his mercy cuz he knows she's for hire
Just another carnival scene

Oh, it's a risky business -but she wants to join the circus
It's a risky business -but she knows that that's her purpose
It's a risky business - the lady says she fated
Captivated by the carnival scene

He's at the Big Top - the master of the high trapeze
She's just another one of his possibilities
She holds her head up and grabs that bar with ease
Flyin' for the carnival king

Oh, it's a risky business -she wants to join the circus
It's a risky business -but she knows that that's her purpose
It's a risky business - the lady says she fated
Captivated by the carnival scene

But will she pass the test - will she survive the rest
The crowd will never rest - 'til he removes the net

It's a risky business...
