For tonight we are all the same person
Frozen smiles on a hand-painted faces
The dream begins and the nightmare erases
Yeah, the circus is here again
We live under the tent of enchantment
Dodging swords through the fire and danger
Dancing colors and lights to astound us
Three-ring action explodes all around us
Chorus (x2) (x3 on fade):
Hear the band start to play
Play us a song
And we both find ourselves caught in the motion
As the band starts to play
We sing along, and the performance has begun
See the merry-go-round go up and down
And the carnival band puts it in motion
And they started to play
Play us a song
In the dancing we're all one
