I'm tired of walking your tight rope
Holding roaring lions back
Pretending there's no elephant in the room
Then trying my best to make you laugh

You can throw at me one, two, or three rings
It's time this tent came down
You can play for keeps but I'm running free
This Circus is leaving town

I'm through running thru your firey hoops
When you've yet to set a net
This acrobat can't keep up with you
Much more of this is certain death

You can shoot me from your cannon
This clown's no longer clowning around
There's no telling these days where I'm landing
But this Circus is leaving town

You once were as sweet as cotton candy
I'm now washing my hands of you
This has become a sticky situation
There's not a whole lot more that we can do

Except close the ***** on this Big Top
Pull the stakes from out the ground
Clear the land from where we stand
This Circus is leaving town
