| Everybody get your ticket, it’s almost time
|
| To set up this freak show, watch me unwind
|
| For the next ninety minutes we’ll be having the time of our lives
|
| I might sing something pretty if I’m feeling loved
|
| I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
|
| I’ll give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enough
|
| Till they pack up my guitars and unplug my star
|
| Oh a ringmaster’s night gets lonely after the big top comes down
|
| Yeah cause I go from being somebody to just another clown
|
| When the circus leaves town
|
| Well it’s cold, dark, and empty back in my cage
|
| And it’s all wasted hours till I’m back on stage
|
| And it’s scary sometimes what I will do to pass them away
|
| You learn to live for the lights when they’re keeping you alive
|
| Oh a ringmaster’s night gets lonely after the big top comes down
|
| Yeah cause I go from being somebody to just another clown
|
| When the circus leaves town
|
| Oh a ringmaster’s night gets lonely after the big top comes down
|
| Yeah and I go from being somebody to just another clown
|
| When the circus leaves town
|
| When the circus leaves town
|
| Yeah |
