I changed my name in search of fame to find the Midas touch

Oh I wish I'd never wanted then what I want now, twice as much

We crossed the mighty oceans and we had a few divides

But we never crossed emotion, for we felt too much inside



You know all the tales we tell, you know the band so well

Still I feel, somehow, we let you down

We went off somewhere on the way and now I see we have to pay

The rock n' roll circus is in town



Buffin' lost his child-like dreams and Mick lost his guitar

And Verden grew a line or two and Overend's just a rock n' roll star

Behind these shades, the visions fade, as I learn a thing or two

Oh but if I had my time again you all know just what I'd do



Rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't explain

The reasons for the sights and for the sounds

We went off somewhere on the way and now I see we have to pay

The rock n' roll circus is in town



So rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't explain

The reasons for the sights and for the sounds

The greasepaint still sticks to my face, so what the hell I can't erase

The rock n' roll feeling from my mind



From my mind

From my mind

From my mind
