[Romanized:]

[Korean:]

불안 불안해 네 높이가 불안해 힘겹게
꿈틀대는 발돋움 안쓰러워
위로 또 위로 더 위로 누군간
밟고 누군 밟혀지네

그 위에도 아무것도 없다는
소식은 들었니 아니 이런 얘긴
그 누구도 모를 수도
날아올라 가본 자만 알고 있는 일

(아찔한 줄타기)
아찔한 줄타기 왕관이 놓인 자리
(왕관이 놓인 자리)
꿈꾸지 하늘에 닿는 날
(아찔한 줄타기) You think you can have,
have it 너만의 상상이
(왕관이 놓인 자리) 만들어낸
자리 실재 하지 않는 곳 The Top

뭔가 씌어도 단단히 씌었어
짙게 희번뜩이는 눈빛 예사롭지 않아
Oh I don't know 넌 모 아니면 도
이기지 않음 지는 거니까

(아찔한 줄타기)
아찔한 줄타기 왕관이 놓인 자리
(왕관이 놓인 자리)
꿈꾸지 하늘에 닿는 날
(아찔한 줄타기) You think you can have,
have it 너만의 상상이
(왕관이 놓인 자리) 만들어낸
자리 실재 하지 않는 곳 The Top

(술처럼 독하게)
술처럼 독하게 점점 더 목이 타게
(점점 더 목타게)
가까이 갈수록 갇힌다
(술처럼 독하게)
You just cannot have it 덫 속에 놓인 처지
(점점 더 목타게)
있어야 할 거기 실재 하지 않는 곳 The Top

왜 이렇게 이분법적이야 다
우르르 Up and straight down
어느 곳 어느 Way
그것만 길이 아닌데
넌 예쁜 나비야
날아갈 수 있단 건 Your treasure
정신 없이 기어가느라
넌 아직도 너를 몰라

(아찔한 줄타기)
아찔한 줄타기 왕관이 놓인 자리
(왕관이 놓인 자리)
꿈꾸지 하늘에 닿는 날
(아찔한 줄타기) You think you can have,
have it 너만의 상상이
(왕관이 놓인 자리) 만들어낸
자리 실재 하지 않는 곳 The Top

(술처럼 독하게)
술처럼 독하게 점점 더 목이 타게
(점점 더 목타게)
가까이 갈수록 갇힌다
(술처럼 독하게)
You just cannot have it 덫 속에 놓인 처지
(점점 더 목타게)
있어야 할 거기 실재 하지 않는 곳 The Top

[English translation:]

I'm nervous, I'm nervous about your heightened status
Your wriggling tippy-toeing makes me sad
Higher, higher, someone steps higher
And someone gets stepped on

Have you heard
That no one is above that?
No one may know this –
Only those who have flied high may know

(Breathtaking tightroping)
Breathtaking tightroping, a place for the crowned
(A place for the crowned)
You dream of it, the day you touch the sky
(Breathtaking tightroping) You think you can have it
Have it in your own imagination
(A place for the crowned) A made-up place,
A place that doesn't exist, the Top

Your eyes have definitely been covered –
Your thickly goggling eyes are not ordinary
Oh I don't know, you're all or nothing,
You either win or lose

(Breathtaking tightroping)
Breathtaking tightroping, a place for the crowned
(A place for the crowned)
You dream of it, the day you touch the sky
(Breathtaking tightroping) You think you can have it
Have it in your own imagination
(A place for the crowned) A made-up place,
A place that doesn't exist, the Top

(Strong like alcohol)
Strong like alcohol, make your throat burn more
(Make your throat burn more)
The closer you go, the more you're trapped
(Strong like alcohol)
You just cannot have it, you're in a trap
(Make your throat burn more)
The place you need to be is a place that doesn't exist, the Top

Why are things so one way or another?
It's either all up or straight down
A certain place, a certain way –
That's not the only way
You're a pretty butterfly,
The fact that you can fly is your treasure
You're so busy crawling
That you still don't know yourself

(Breathtaking tightroping)
Breathtaking tightroping, a place for the crowned
(A place for the crowned)
You dream of it, the day you touch the sky
(Breathtaking tightroping) You think you can have it
Have it in your own imagination
(A place for the crowned) A made-up place,
A place that doesn't exist, the Top

(Strong like alcohol)
Strong like alcohol, make your throat burn more
(Make your throat burn more)
The closer you go, the more you're trapped
(Strong like alcohol)
You just cannot have it, you're in a trap
(Make your throat burn more)
The place you need to be is a place that doesn't exist, the Top
