runaway circus

hale, lucy

we thought we were the greatest show on earth

two kids running around kicking up dirt

falling

flying

big top loving in a little old town

when you're high-wire walking

don't you dare look down

and tease the lions

oh

you toss love around like a juggling act

oh

you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back

just when i thought i had heaven one day

just like that heaven was packed and gone away

all you left was a field of dust

you runaway circus

you talked me into a ticket for two

played with my heart for a grandstand view

but the star attraction was smoke and magic

oh

you toss love around like a juggling act

oh

you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back

just when i thought i had heaven one day

just like that heaven was packed and gone away

all you left was a field of dust

you runaway circus

you runaway circus

oh

oh

oh

you toss love around like a juggling act

oh

you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back

just when i thought i had heaven one day

just like that heaven was packed and gone away

all you left was a field of dust

you runaway circus

you runaway circus

you runaway circus
