Just step right up and form a line the circus is in town.
Sit back and watch the acrobat before he hits the ground.
And take your place at center stage the party’s just begun.
It’s time to taste the latest craze in three-ring Babylon.
We’ve got all access where the pretty people go,
A plastic guest list at a smoke and mirror show.
Chorus
Yeah, let’s get down where the shadows play
And you and I can dance the night away
When that electric big top comes alive.
So, let’s get spun on a disco ball
Don’t be afraid its only rock ‘n’ roll
A roller coaster rocket hang on tight
‘Cause tonight we’re gonna ride the dyno-mite.
We’ll pull up on the front page in a black Mercedes-Benz
With pockets full of fireworks exploding in our hands.
So, let’s cut lose and light the fuse then pass it all around
And when that champagne bottle pops, we’ll crank the music loud.
It’s all out excess where the pretty people go
With first-class tickets to the land of lost control.
Pick a front row seat when they light the lights
Curtain’s up and a star is born.
It’s a face paint joke on a tragic clown
Singing songs that you’ve heard before.
See the death-trip dare devil derelict
As he jumps through a ring of fire.
On a pale white horse with a bag of tricks
Keeps the carousel running wild.
Chorus
