Ohh The Altitude Seems To Get To Me

You know, when I first moved to Colorado I used to blame everything on the altitude. Any dumb thing that I did or said or caused to happen ... "must be the altitude".
Now you realize Denver is a Mile High and the altitude really does affect certain things. It's harder to breathe up here if you're not used to it, as there is less oxygen than at "sea level". Now that might explain a lot of things. You know, the lack of oxygen to my brain? Others call them "brain farts" ... but I still blame it on the altitude.



And for those who have trouble understanding the lyrics:

I'm up on the tightwire
one side's ice and one is fire
its a circus game with you and me
I'm up on the tightrope
one side's hate and one is hope
but the tophat on my head is all you see
And the wire seems to be
the only place for me
a comedy of errors
and I'm falling

**Chorus**
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
you look into my past
well maybe you're just to blind to - see
I'm up in the spotlight
ohh does it feel right
ohh the altitude
seems to get to me

I'm up on the tightwire
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
putting on a show
for you to see

**Chorus**
Like a rubber-neck giraffe
you look into my past
well maybe you're just too blind to - see
I'm up in the spotlight
ohh does it feel right
ohh the altitude
really gets to me

I'm up on the tight wire
flanked by life and the funeral pyre
putting on a show for you to see

Must be the altitude. Looks like 10dollarswonder is now kaput, done, gone. Went for about two weeks with no daily notification of cycling. Now when one tries to login, you see nothing on the screen but the login screen.
Too bad, this is one in which I actually made a bit of money, aka "profit". More than I can say for a lot of other programs. So for 10DW...may you R.I.P.

Hey AL, where ya been?
Doing anything exciting lately?
Let me know if you are.

Randy ... was easy to understand lyrics in the 60's since we were all in the same place.
Today is a whole different story.
Glad we're on the same track, ya know?
Loved the comment by the way.
Thanks :)

Wow Dave (danish),
Thanks for the heads up on 10DW.
I haven't logged in for a few weeks now but see what you mean. You can't. Hmmm

I might write to Chung about it to see what's going on. (IF he'll still talk to me that is.) It sure was good in the beginning, ya know?
Too bad it had to go down like everything else.

I'll post if I get a response.
Thanks :)
