We've already been through this before.
I've said all the same words and shut every door.
but surely someday you'll head straight back for more,
because that's just the average circus.

So put on your makeup and paste on that smile.
Step right on up and I'll try not to cry
and we can pretend that we're staying this time
for a while in your average circus.

You can tell your lies and I'll believe mine.
Maybe it'll last awhile--I see us flying
and I'm doing fine ...

Trash is what trash does and you throw it away.
Out of sight, out of mind--and you keep it that way,
but how clean are you at the end of the day
if you play in this average way?

I wait around for the lights to come up.
Step right up, yeah-yeah, the show must go on playing!
Time is not on my side ...

We've already been at this parade
and I've been booed off this particular stage.
Sooner or later, you run out of brave
and go back to the way you came ...

it's all just your average circus
it's all just your average circus
all just your average circus ...
