Ladies and gentlemen, the world we live in is scary
There's snares and pit falls galore
And I pray to the lord to save me from boredom
Along came the circus and swept me away
Once I was sad, but I'm feeling OK
I'm off n away, off n away, off to join the circus
And when I emerged from the gutter
My wings I'd forgotten, they flutter
And now I can fly, now I'm a bird in the sky
And I, to my plight, waved goodbye
And thanks for the sense of belonging
And thanks for the colors and light
The world outside us is coming apart
To Circus Contraption, I've given my heart
We're safe in our wagons and tents, my friends
We're safe in our wagons and tents
And I plundered through life with no purpose
Until I crashed into the circus
Now I have a home wherever I roam
And to Circus Contraption I say
Thanks for the sense of belonging
And thanks for the colors and light
The world outside us is coming apart
To Circus Contraption, I've given my heart
We're safe in our wagons and tents, my friends
We're safe in our wagons and tents
