lyrics

Welcome to the Circus, you left your life behind
Let go of normality, we’re here to satisfy
Forget what you think you know, it won’t fit our design
You’ll get everything you wish for, sign on the dotted line

Whether reason or curiosity that brought you near
Doesn’t matter, all that matters now is you are here
We’re the family that you’ve never had before
We can show you, but you’re the one who must step through the door

This is Esmeralda, she’s unmatched with a knife
Searching for a new assistant, just don’t ask her why
Mirco is from Russia, he’s stronger than a bull
Just be sure to keep your distance, when the moon is full

You’ve seen all there is to see, no need to be afraid
Sign and join our family, your choice must now be made
Hither now my little friend, and look me in the eye
Take this pen into your hand, cross T’s and dot the I’s

Whether reason or curiosity that brought you near
Doesn’t matter, all that matters now is you are here
We’re the family that you’ve never had before
We can show you, but you’re the one who must step through the door
