Welcome to the circus

Lights up, the show's begun

Danger's dancing in the sky

Hold tight, take a ride

There's no time to say goodbye

Smoke, fire, tricks and lies

People gambling with your life

Freaks and clowns, blood and knives

There's no place to hide

Oh guys, look at me

I'm the star of the spree

Center stage, eyes on me

I'm the joke, can't you see?

They laugh, they smile

No place to go

They're holding all the strings

I'm just a puppet in the show

Welcome to the circus

To the circus

Welcome to the circus

To the circus

We wear the mask, bend the knee

Blind to chains you cannot see

Secrets dark we've learned to keep

Running deep, silent plea

They make me want to dance

They make me want to glow

They're holding all the strings

I'm just a puppet in the show

Welcome to the circus

To the circus

Welcome to the circus

To the circus

Welcome to the circus

To the circus

Welcome to the circus

To the circus
