Lyrics: Bertie

You taught me to fly and to swoop to your arms;
And though I soared high I came to no harm;

You sawed me in half and you pulled me apart
And though I really laughed, you had broken my heart,

You stood me quite still and you threw straight your knives
And though you didn't kill, you used eight of my lives,

You rattled my cage and you cracked your whip
And though I really raged, I only bit my lip.

Chorus x 2

Our dream is
A circus
Run away
Live for the day

Our life's
A circus
Ups and downs
round and round

You set up a hoop, and I jumped through the fire,
And though you were cool, you lit up my desire

You stretched a high wire, and you made me walk the walk,
And though said you were a flyer, It was only ticks and talk.

Chorus x 2

Our dream is
A circus
Run away
Live for the day

Our life is
A circus
Ups and downs
round and round

Bridge---

We made a pact
We're a double act
A high wire flier
with a belly full of fire

A big attraction
with plenty of action
A spectacular show
With no net below

[Guitar Solo]

Our dream
is a a circus
Run away,
live for the day

Our life,
is a circus
ups and downs
round and round

Our dream
is a a circus
Run away,
live for the day

Our life,
is a circus
ups and downs
round and round

Our way is a circus
Thrills and spills,
looks that kill

Our love
is a circus
yes we fight, but it's right on the night

Our way is a circus
Thrills and spills,
looks that kill

Our love a is
A circus
yes we fight
But it's alright on the night
