Brandon Lee went walking on a tightrope today
For some reason it just doesn’t seem as dangerous as it used to
Flying high above the heads of his elders he runs
Instead of tip-toeing like some scared little boy-
The scared little boy he used to be
When his father died from aspirin
But he’s gotten over his fears now
He practically dares the wire to break
Hoping it does because falling would be a much better death
Than an idiot props man not doing his job right
Leading to Brandon being shot on set
Of perhaps his only great movie.
