The lions roar
And young men soar
The flames all scorch
The circus floor

Puppets on strings
All dance and sing
And flap their wings
Trumpets play sick lullabies

Delicate dame
Her fragile face
Was scared away
Without a trace

Out in the cold
Where did she go?
Into unknown
A place I'll never know

And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you

Elephants rear
And young men sneer
The audience
Just claps and cheers

I asked around
Half-empty towns
About a girl
Nowhere to be found

And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you

We didn't know
We could not go
The circus songs
Just carried on

Out of the crowd
Three men rush out
And scream and shout
"Everybody stop!"
