By the dim of the lights,
In the middle of the night-
I am yours.

With every smile,
Every twinkle in your eyes-
I am yours.

My heart beats your name,
My body reaches for your touch.

Look closely, my skin quivers.
It reaches and comes alive by your hand.
Goosebumps climbing up my arm,
Saving you a place at my heart.

You're the leader in our circus.
She the lion tamer,
I the dancer.

At your call she sends the lions in action.
At your call, I let them come.
I take the attacks for foolish action-
I take it all for you.

We do this waltz of love and hate-
Life and death.
I stood in the ring to take them on.
The Lions and their Tamer.

I took them on as you watched us Tango.
Orchestrating the tension and the hate.
Pinning all on me for the sake of your show.
The Ring Master.
