The Circus
Roll up! Come on, take a seat
Nobody bites, we're all friends here
Time to suspend disbelief
You will see wonderous things here
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring out the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Nothing is quite as it seems
Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams
Under this peeling façade
Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check
We need the smell of the band
We need the crack of the whip hand
These are the games that we play
Join The Circus today
Welcome along to the show
All that we seek is attention
Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will
Give you their all if you show them affection
We are just marionettes
Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Styling it out as they scream
Into the void with a surrogate band
Hiding the cracks with a smile
This is illusion, a sleight of hand
We need to feel something real
We need the taste of the greasepaint
These are the games that we play
Join The Circus today
Making it up as we go
Reeling around with the drunkards
Feeding the demons below
Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Come on and join in The Circus
Nothing is quite as it seems
Come on and join in The Circus
Nobody bites, we're all friends here
Time to suspend disbelief
You will see wonderous things here
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring out the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Nothing is quite as it seems
Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams
Under this peeling façade
Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check
We need the smell of the band
We need the crack of the whip hand
These are the games that we play
Join The Circus today
Welcome along to the show
All that we seek is attention
Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will
Give you their all if you show them affection
We are just marionettes
Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Styling it out as they scream
Into the void with a surrogate band
Hiding the cracks with a smile
This is illusion, a sleight of hand
We need to feel something real
We need the taste of the greasepaint
These are the games that we play
Join The Circus today
Making it up as we go
Reeling around with the drunkards
Feeding the demons below
Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Come on and join in The Circus
Nothing is quite as it seems
Come on and join in The Circus
