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
