Take me to the big show

Take me anywhere but here

Put me in the front row, 

Make my problems disappear



Trapeze high wires, 

Without a safety net

For the present admission, 

I wanna witness life or death



All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make us laugh



I wanna make friends with the friends with the freaks, 

I wanna throw it down with the clowns that I meet, 

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street



Invite all the carnies 

And the crazy acrobats 

And bearded ladies 

And the fire breathers 

All the people 

Just like me.



Are you ready to risk it all, 

And be a human cannon ball?

Sharpen up those knives and throw em'

At the fool against the wall, 

We're all against that wall



I wanna make friends with the friends with the freaks, 

I wanna throw it down with the clowns that I meet, 

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street

I wanna have a party in the middle of the street



Invite all the carnies 

And the crazy acrobats 

And bearded ladies 

And the fire breathers 

All the people 

Just like me.



Ladies and Gentlemen, 

Boys and girls, 

Come one, come all

To the Cirque dans la rue! 

Check your troubles at the door, 

You don't need em anymore! 

Leave reality outside, 

And come along for the ride, 

But just remember

While you're watching us, 

Do the things that we do! 



We're watching you



All the pretty girls get cut in half while the sad clowns make us laugh.
