"Circus" lyrics

"Circus"

Roll up, roll up
Wake up in the dark
I feel it gettin' lighter
Watch the world disappear
Tricks to thrill and to fear
Hold your head up higher

Hurray, they're coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd
(Until the lights go out)

Roll up, roll up
Take a spin on the top
Amazin' death defier
Once to bring you near
Hold your heart, taste your tears
Won't you walk along the wire?

Hurray, they're coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd
(Until the lights go out)

Danger, fire
Run now you liar
Wilder and wilder
Sleep now, it's over
(Not another end)

Roll up, roll up
Wake up in the dark
I feel it gettin' lighter
Watch the world disappear
Tricks to thrill and to fear
Hold your head up higher

Hurray, they're coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd
(Until the lights go out)
