Careful what you wish for
When you were a kid your
Craziest dream
Was the thing you lived for
Were you a firefighter
Or a race car driver
Underneath a big top
Staring down a tiger
Everybody loves the circus,
At least until they have to work it
To run away with me you'd have to be crazy
I got more side shows than Barnum and Bailey
Everybody wants a ticket
Step right up, it's a thrill a minute
Are you someone who'll still be around
When they take the big top down
Not for the weak hearted
When you're falling hard with
Someone who's a clown
And an acrobatic artist
Not just any man can
Shot out of a cannon
Every single day
Without knowing where he's landing
Everybody loves the circus,
At least until they have to work it
To run away with me you'd have to be crazy
I got more side shows than Barnum and Bailey
Everybody wants a ticket
Step right up, it's a thrill a minute
Are you someone who'll still be around
Night after night, town after town
When they take the big top down
