Three Ring Circus

The lights go out without a sound You can feel the mounting tension On the bed of nails where we`ve laid down Far too many times to mention (CHORUS) I was on the high wire looking down For my safety net When I swear I saw you with that clown How can I forget? You can learn to swallow swords But it hurts so much more Swallowing my pride On a three-ring circus ride They watch us from the ringside seats As the knife throwing commences And though it all looks very cheap I still can`t bring you to your senses (REPEAT CHORUS) You can learn to swallow swords But it hurts so much more Swallowing your pride On a three-ring circus ride Some people ride the wall of death And it`s so dangerously thrilling Some people fall and break their necks With just the sky above still spinning Juggling a precious thing Pretty soon it will all be broken If you think I`ll jump through hoops with him I think you must be joking (REPEAT CHORUS) You know that trick they do with swords Well it hurts so much more Swallowing my pride On a three-ring circus ride
