Lyrics
I'm the clown with painted frown who prances for your pleasure
I'm the lion tamer taming quiet lion's roar
I'm the chap with suit and cap who runs the three-ring circus
I'm the barker selling all my secrets at the door
and I stand so high
hear drums roll
telling me now to step out in the air
Every day I make believe before an empty grandstand
Every night I make believe I was not left behind
Everything was right 'til you ran off to join the circus
I remained inside a haunted big top in my mind
and now, looking down,
paralyzed,
I am stilled by my own little fear
Isn't it crazy how we walk this tightrope wire
Juggling far too much and everything at once on the balancing act
Where is the safety net that I thought was over the fire
Isn't it crazy
Nobody told me
This is the show...
I'm the lion tamer taming quiet lion's roar
I'm the chap with suit and cap who runs the three-ring circus
I'm the barker selling all my secrets at the door
and I stand so high
hear drums roll
telling me now to step out in the air
Every day I make believe before an empty grandstand
Every night I make believe I was not left behind
Everything was right 'til you ran off to join the circus
I remained inside a haunted big top in my mind
and now, looking down,
paralyzed,
I am stilled by my own little fear
Isn't it crazy how we walk this tightrope wire
Juggling far too much and everything at once on the balancing act
Where is the safety net that I thought was over the fire
Isn't it crazy
Nobody told me
This is the show...
