come 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 what comes
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 what comes
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 what comes
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
