Ashes To Ashes

Verse 1:

big top, carnival lights, calliope sound

one big circus of life, send in the clowns

we're runnin around, foolin around

somebody needs to shut this place down

Verse 2:

if we could ride that ride just one more time

then maybe we'd find we'd be just fine

with a push and a whine, and a big fat lie

maybe we'll make it to the front of the line

- we lie to ourselves, it's such a good time

- but please don't tell, just wish us well

Chorus:

are we havin fun yet, gettin all we can get

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down

tryin not to feel while we're tryin to look real

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down

Verse 3:

now it's finally our turn will we crash and burn

or rise to the top, I hope we don't stop

we've worked so hard and we have the scars

all our broken homes should prove who we are

- we lie to ourselves, it's such a good time

- but please don't tell, just wish us well

Chorus:

are we havin fun yet, gettin all we can get

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down

are we all the same playin like all lives are game

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down

Bridge:

big big circus of life - we are the clowns

Verse 4:

when it's time to get off and take a look around

we survey the cost of where we are now

we've lost our hearts and we can be found

back at the start of this Merry-Go-Round

Chorus:

are we havin fun yet, gettin all we can get

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down

let's be realistic, we have gone ballistic

ashes to ashes, yeah we all fall down
