I've always said **** the circus
Cheap theatrics and easy money
I see I'm a few feet out on a tightrope, that's my job
Ironic, unfortunately

Somebody laid a few pillows out on this side
I appreciate the concern but I'm a professional
The net on that side is a failsafe
That we usually use, it is used
You really need to know how to fall

Need not apply, we work for peanuts
You know, cheap money and easy theatrics
So it goes, being within being without

But if you brought the pillows
And if you like the peanuts
Stick around, who knows
You just might enjoy the show
