[bad word] on and spend the night 
under the circus lights 
wanna see you high above the ground. 
you know i've swallowed fire 
i've fallen off the wire 
too many times before 
and you're asking me 

to show you more love 
more life more heat 
you're asking me 
shaking, burning, 
to show you more 
more life more heat 
you ask and 
we can't say [bad word] 
when these circus lights go out 

i'll be the tattooed man 
you can be the acrobat 
i'll try to catch you when you fall 
we'll be together then 
like a pair of saimese twins 
entwined against the floor 
tell me what more could you ask for 

more more life more heat 
you're asking me 
shaking burning 
to show you more 
more life more heat 
you ask and 
we can't say [bad word] 
when these circus lights go out. 
when these circus lights go... 
when these circus lights go out 

are you innocent no one's innocent 
still like to hear the big crowd roar 
when I see that light 
everybody dressed in white 
will you be there by the door 
will show me what I'm looking for 

more life more heat i'm askin please 
shaking burning, show more love 
more life more heat 
you ask and we can't say [bad word] 
when these circus lights go out 
when these circus lights go... 

i slid away, what's going on 
i slid away, what's going on 
i slid away, what's going on 
i slid away, what's going on
