Every Circus Needs a Star

Chorus

If common sense were made of gold

You'd still be broke or so I'm told

But every circus needs a star

Congratulations

Yeah

Here you are

Verse 1

Painted face

Grin that hides a hollow trace

Tripping on your own untied lace

Falling down

Always trying for the crown

Winning title for the local clown

Pre-Chorus

Watch the curtain pull

Head is far from full

Waiting for the bull

Chorus

If common sense were made of gold

You'd still be broke or so I'm told

But every circus needs a star

Congratulations

Yeah

Here you are

Post-Chorus

Under the lights

Oh the heights

Lonely nights

Highwire sights

Verse 2

Cannon blast

Hope the safety net can last

Running from a boring past

Step outside

Nothing left for you to hide

Welcome to the big top ride

Pre-Chorus

Hear the brassy band

Shift the heavy sand

Landing on your hand

Chorus

If common sense were made of gold

You'd still be broke or so I'm told

But every circus needs a star

Congratulations

Yeah

Here you are

Bridge

Under the lights at the center of the show

With nowhere else left to go

Yeah every circus needs a star

And look exactly where you are

Chorus

If common sense were made of gold

You'd still be broke or so I'm told

But every circus needs a star

Congratulations

Yeah

Here you are

Post-Chorus

At the show

Now you know

Go-go-go

Where you go
