You find the strength You lose your voice You find some peace You miss the noise You find your chance You crash your car You lose your way And find your heart You reach your goal And it's your end You lose your life Where life begins You make it back But you're not home Where is that peace you'd known? Day and night In the circus life Loose or tight In this circus life You finally stand up on your feet But earthquakes shake you in your sleep Savor a moment, you're not broke The streets go up in fire and smoke
You try to shake your misery The cure is worse than the disease You book your flight, you cancel twice You long for beans and rice! Day and night In the circus life Wrong or right In this circus life Am I boring you again? If you're not interested, pretend! Don't make me beg you for a smile I feel like I'm in Kafka's Trial Is there something you can't say? You can't always get your way You're like the poet on his box Am I your protégé? Day and night In the circus life Fight or flight In this circus life
