Welcome to the circus! Welcome to the stage! We're about to raise the curtain, Will you step into my cage? We're looking for a volunteer, Are you equal to the task? If you don't want to face the music, You can always wear a mask. Sometimes you're a sinner, Sometimes you're a saint. You make it look so easy By the pictures that you paint. It all depends who's watching you, How you will perform. Anyone can see it's just the calm before the storm. () But you won't get far if you don't know who you are. Who are you? Who will you be tonight, tonight? (rpt) Sometimes you're the strongman, You're so good at playing the clown, But once the spotlight finds you, It's too late to turned around. Trick us with your painted smile And we'll all join in the fun, But when you face to music, don't you know, You're all alone.
