I can see it from the top now
We're on our way down
Too many people on this ride
This ain't such a fun house,
Pull the smoke and mirrors out
Come and see just what's inside
We're not gonna tame these lions
So watch another show instead
The carousel is broken down
And all the animals
(the animals are) out of their pens

It's too late to stop ‘em now
Too many tickets were bought,
Too many hit the ground
This ain't my kind of circus anyhow
Just run away (way) with your dignity
I won't tell anybody that I've seen
The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…

I can see it from the top now
We're about to hit the ground
Now it's too late, so pick your side
Tents are a collapsin'
Lights are all flashin'
Come and see just what's inside
The ferris wheel is down on the midway
So pick another ride instead
The carousel is broken down
And all the animals
(the animals are) out of their pens

It's too late to stop ‘em now
Too many tickets were bought,
Too many hit the ground
This ain't my kind of circus anyhow
Just run away (way) with your dignity
I won't tell anybody that I've seen
The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…

And you can run it down, run it down
But you will never catch it, no
It's already part of, it's already part of you
And we can run it down, run it down
But we will never catch it, no
It's already part of, it's already part of us

It's too late to stop ‘em now
Too many tickets were bought,
Too many hit the ground
This ain't my kind of circus anyhow
Just run away (way) with your dignity
I won't tell anybody that I've seen
The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…
