Take me to the big show,
Take me anywhere but here
Put me in the front row
Make my problems disappear
Trapeze high wire
Without a safety net
For the price of admission
I wanna witness life or death
All the pretty girls get cut in half,
While the sad clowns make us laugh.
I wanna make friends with the freaks,
I wanna throw it down with the clowns that I meet
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
Invite all the carnies and the crazy acrobats and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
All the people just like me
Are you ready to risk it all
And be a human cannon ball?
Sharpen up those knives and throw
'Em at the fool against the wall.
We're all against that wall.
I want to make friends with the freaks
I want to throw it down with the clowns that I meet
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
I wanna have a party in the middle of the street
Invite all the carnies and the crazy acrobats and bearded ladies and the fire breathers
All the people just like me
[spoken]
Ladies and gentlemen!
Boys and girls!
Come one, come all
To the Cirque Dans La Rue!
Check your troubles at the door,
You don't need them anymore!
Leave reality outside,
And come along for the ride.
But just remember,
While you're watching us
Do the things that we do,
We're watching you.
All the pretty girls get cut in half,
