When The Circus Leaves Town Lyrics

Everybody get your ticket, it's almost time
To set up this freak show, watch me unwind
For the next ninety minutes we'll be having the time of our livesI might sing something pretty if I'm feeling loved
I might kick out the footlights if I drink too much
I'll give it all that I have hoping this time it might be enoughTill they pack up my guitars and unplug my starOh, a ringmaster's night gets lonely after the big top comes down
Yeah, 'cause I go from being somebody to just another clown
When the circus leaves townWell it's cold, dark, and empty back in my cage
And it's all wasted hours till I'm back on stage
And it's scary sometimes what I will do to pass them awayYou learn to live for the lights when they're keeping you aliveOh, a ringmaster's night gets lonely after the big top comes down
Yeah, 'cause I go from being somebody to just another clown
When the circus leaves townOh, a ringmaster's 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
I'm leaving this town
