Everybody get your ticket, its almost time
To set up this freak show, watch me unwind
For the next ninety minutes well be having the time of our lives
I might sing something pretty if Im feeling loved
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
Ill 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 ringmasters 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 its cold, dark, and empty back in my cage
And its all wasted hours till Im back on stage
And its scary sometimes what I will do to pass them away
You learn to live for the lights when theyre keeping you alive
Oh a ringmasters 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 ringmasters 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
Im leaving this town
To set up this freak show, watch me unwind
For the next ninety minutes well be having the time of our lives
I might sing something pretty if Im feeling loved
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
Ill give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enough
