enter the circus lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won't believe your eyes
Behind this curtain

Witness something you've never seen before
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth
It's the most amazing show on earth

Do you want to be widely entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well they say, "Things aren't always what they seem to be"

Even your greatest fantasies
You won't believe your eyes
Won't even recognize the wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights

Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup
And the faces full of paint?

I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Tell the world to come and play
So sit back, relax, fasten your seat belts
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side
