Roll up! Come on, take a seat
Nobody bites, we're all friends here
Time to suspend disbelief
You will see wonderous things here
Bring out the weirdos and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Nothing is quite as it seems
Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams
Under this peeling façade
Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check
We need the smell of the band
We heed the crack of the whip hand
These are the games that we play
Join the circus TODAY*
Welcome along to the show
All that we seek is attention
Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will
Give you their all if you show them affection
We are just marionettes
Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance
Bring on the liars and thieves
Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and
Styling it out as they scream
Into the void with a surrogate band
Hiding the cracks with a smile
This is illusion, a sleight of hand
We need to feel something real
We need the taste of the greasepaint
These are the games that we play
Join the circus TODAY*
Making it up as we go
Reeling around with the drunkards
Feeding the demons below
Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches
Bring out the weirdo's and freaks
Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals
Bring on the liars and thieves
Come on and join in the circus
Nothing is quite as it seems
Come on and join in the circus

You're at the end of your tether
Taking hits in filthy weather
This is not what you signed up for
Life should be a whole lot more than
This, it seems they're all out to piss you
Off don't let the bastards grind you
Down, they've got you spinning around some
Days you feel like giving up the
Chase, and I will always be
There, in your hair, when the
World is whack, I've got your
Back, and I swear, I will
Hold the line
Time after
Time
You've got the world on your shoulders
On the chain gang breaking boulders
Try hard but all your reward is
One step forward, two steps backward
You need a break need to catch a
Wave instead of all this shrapnel
And if you're stuck in a hole just
Call my name I'll try and pull you
Out, and I will always be
There, on your side, if you
Need a friend to help you
Mend, don't be shy, you can
Count on me, rely on
Me, and I swear, I will
Hold the line
Time after
Time
[GTR SOLO]
And I will always be
True, here for you, if you're
Feeling small give me a
Call, yeah come around, we can
Turn the night to burning
Light, hold my hand, I will
Stick like glue through thin and
Thick, and I swear, I will
Hold the line
Time after
Time

Hey, you look cool, and I love your tattooed
Skin, got a thing for a girl in leather
We should go out, we'd look good together
I'm on the hunt for a friend for ever
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the
Rifft, it's not bad, got a reputation
Not what you need if you seek salvation
Sin, just a word, it's a way of life here
Got what you want, we have every vice here
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the
Rifft, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot, (where angels fear to tread) so come on
Down, hit the town, you just name your poison
Anything goes, there are no restrictions
Do what you feel, they have seen it all here
Once you walk in you will never leave here
So, let me show you round, far below the
Earth, take you underground, where they gave me
Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my
Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the
Rifft, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it
Hot (where angels fear to tread)

Another morning dawns, but everything's not groov-ay
Its fucking freezing here, don't want to leave my duvet
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
I dream of warmer climes and better times that could be
I'm in my summer clothes and eveyone is happy
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
I'm gonna take a break I'm leaving on a Jet Plane
I'm gonna cross the States and head for Cali-forn-i-a
I'm gonna pick a peach and poke my finger down inside
Head down to Venice Beach and watch the surfers ride the tide
Take me to Space I want to get off my face I want to
Learn how how to live and feel the beat of the place so take me
Out on the town and show this new kid around because I'm
Too old to rock and roll, but I'm too young to die
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
I'm gonna take a chance, I'm gonna dance my ass off
I'm gonna take a chance, I'm gonna dance my ass off
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
Ready or not I'm breaking out of my box cos baby
I want to trade those golden arches for gates so wont you
Take me to Space I want to get off my face I want to
Learn how how to live and feel the beat of the place so take me
Out on the town and show this new kid around because I'm
Too old to rock and roll, but I'm too young to die
Give it up, San Francisco
I want love and shit disco
