Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The lights still in our eyes

We're leaving this whole fairground behind

It's a dream that's growing cold

The circus never dies

The act forever haunts these skies

I know we cannot stay

[Verse 2]

Farewell to the fairground

These rides aren't working anymore

Goodbye to this dead town

Until the ice begins to thaw

[Verse 3]

This place used to gleam

I see it in my hopeful dreams

No I have to get away

We moved towards the stars

And all that we touch becomes ours

Let's keep warm till it's day

[Verse 4]

Farewell to the fairground

These rides aren't working anymore

Goodbye to this dead town

Until the ice begins to thaw

[Verse 5]

We'll head south, just hold my hand now

I feel like I'm casting off my clothes

And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset

And I'm always with you

[Verse 6]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 7]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 8]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 9]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 10]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 11]

Keep on running

Keep, keep on running

There's no place like home

There's no place like home

[Verse 12]

Farewell to the fairground

These rides aren't working anymore

Goodbye to this dead town

Until the ice begins to thaw

[Verse 13]

We'll head south, just hold my hand now

I feel like I'm casting off my clothes

And I'm running through the snow towards the sunset

And I'm always with you
