I can see it from the top now

We're on our way down

Too many people on this ride

This ain't such a fun house,

Pull the smoke and mirrors out

Come and see just what's inside

We're not gonna tame these lions

So watch another show instead

The carousel is broken down

And all the animals

(the animals are) out of their pens



It's too late to stop ‘em now

Too many tickets were bought,

Too many hit the ground

This ain't my kind of circus anyhow

Just run away (way) with your dignity

I won't tell anybody that I've seen

The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…



I can see it from the top now

We're about to hit the ground

Now it's too late, so pick your side

Tents are a collapsin'

Lights are all flashin'

Come and see just what's inside

The ferris wheel is down on the midway

So pick another ride instead

The carousel is broken down

And all the animals

(the animals are) out of their pens



It's too late to stop ‘em now

Too many tickets were bought,

Too many hit the ground

This ain't my kind of circus anyhow

Just run away (way) with your dignity

I won't tell anybody that I've seen

The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…



And you can run it down, run it down

But you will never catch it, no

It's already part of, it's already part of you

And we can run it down, run it down

But we will never catch it, no

It's already part of, it's already part of us



It's too late to stop ‘em now

Too many tickets were bought,

Too many hit the ground

This ain't my kind of circus anyhow

Just run away (way) with your dignity

I won't tell anybody that I've seen

The biggest man here just act so small (yeah)…
