[Verse 1] We thought we were the greatest show on Earth Two kids running around, kicking up dirt Falling, flying Big top loving in a little old town When you're high-wire walking, don't you dare look down And tease the lions [Chorus] Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had Heaven one day Just like that, Heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust You runaway circus [Verse 2] You talked me into a ticket for two Played with my heart for a grandstand view But the star attraction Was smoke and magic [Chorus] Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had Heaven one day Just like that, Heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust You runaway circus You runaway circus [Bridge] Oh Oh [Chorus] Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had Heaven one day Just like that, Heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust You runaway circus You runaway circus You runaway circus
