The lions roar and young men soar
The flames all scorch the circus floor
Puppets on string all dance and sing and flap their wings

Trumpets play sick lullabies

Delicate dame her fragile face

Was scared away without a trace
Out in the cold, where did she go?
Into unknown a place I'll never


Know and the desperate search began
All across this sea and land

I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you


Elephants rear and young men steer
The audience just claps and cheers
I asked around half empty towns

About a girl nowhere to be found

And the desperate search began

All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you


We didn't know, we could not go
The circus songs just carried on

Out of the crowd three men rush out
And scream and shout, "Everybody Stop!"
