"The lights go down, it's time for the show
They're all on stage ready to go
Hey you, lady and you sir, too
I'm the ringmaster, and this is my crew"
Playing with his own life
Slow moves, no breath
Rope-walker's show time
He's always on the edge
Look out!
Beyond the ring they're sit as a
Funny crowd
They seem to laugh but they're dead
Dead clowns
Tonight's main attraction on the
Circus
On and on the comedy goes...
Over the ground the trapezist goes
A fearless acrobat flyin' high and low
He trusts his life to other hands
Slippery bones, traitor ones, will lead him to the end
Spinning on his two wheels
Round the globe of death
He can't think, can't feel
Just live fast and die fast
Look out
Beyond the ring they're sit as a
Funny crowd
They seem to laugh but they're dead
Dead clowns
Tonight's main attraction on the
Circus
On and on the comedy goes...
Inside a cage the beast-tamer shouts
To prove his training gifts he whips his loyal pals
Humble servants feed to open mouth
Instinctive actions, we're all animals!
Look out
Beyond the ring they're sit as a
Funny crowd
They seem to laugh but they're dead
Dead clowns
Tonight's main attraction on the
Circus
On and on the comedy goes...
On and on the tragedy goes...
