THE CIRCUS

In the spotlight he demands attention

The light may blind him but you’d never know

He introduces death-defying action

And juggles our amusement as we go

The lion’s mouth is opened up and ready

The elephants and dancing bears stand by

The trapeze artists wait their invitation

To thrill us and to chill us as they fly

CHORUS:

The Ringmaster knows the secrets of the dark

The Ringmaster smiles, sending terror through your heart

He commands the circus, forging magic friends and foes

The Ringmaster sees; the Ringmaster knows

Step right up get ready to be astonished

As we walk upon the dark intriguing path

Towards the clowns in cars and clowns in cannons

But it’s the clown that is in tears that makes us laugh

CHORUS:

The Ringmaster knows the secrets of the dark

The Ringmaster smiles, sending terror through your heart

He commands the circus, forging magic friends and foes

The Ringmaster sees; the Ringmaster knows
