[00:00.68]The lights go out without a sound
[00:09.05]You can feel the mounting tension
[00:15.37]On the bed of nails where we've laid down
[00:22.65]Far too many times to mention
[00:29.08]I was on the high wire looking down
[00:33.06]For my safety net
[00:36.36]When I swear I saw you with that clown
[00:39.91]How can I forget?
[00:43.64]You can learn to swallow swords
[00:47.68]But it hurts so much more
[00:51.22]Swallowing my pride
[00:54.36]On a three-ring circus ride
[01:00.43]They watch us from the ringside seats
[01:08.36]As the knife throwing commences
[01:14.64]And though it all looks very cheap
[01:21.40]I still can't bring you to your senses
[01:28.18]I was on the high wire looking down
[01:32.02]For my safety net
[01:35.31]When I swear I saw you with that clown
[01:38.95]How can I forget?
[01:42.42]You can learn to swallow swords
[01:46.71]But it hurts so much more
[01:50.20]Swallowing your pride
[01:53.23]On a three-ring circus ride
[01:59.36]Some people ride the wall of death
[02:06.74]And it's so dangerously thrilling
[02:13.16]Some people fall and break their necks
[02:20.64]With just the sky above still spinning
[02:28.32]Juggling a precious thing
[02:34.99]Pretty soon it will all be broken
[02:41.21]If you think I'll jump through hoops with him
[02:48.88]I think you must be joking
[02:55.11]I was on the high wire looking down
[02:58.75]For my safety net
[03:02.04]When I swear I saw you with that clown
[03:05.62]How can I forget?
[03:08.86]You know that trick they do with swords
[03:13.45]Well it hurts so much more
[03:16.98]Swallowing my pride
[03:20.56]On a three-ring circus ride

The lights go out without a sound
You can feel the mounting tension
On the bed of nails where we've laid down
Far too many times to mention
I was on the high wire looking down
For my safety net
When I swear I saw you with that clown
How can I forget?
You can learn to swallow swords
But it hurts so much more
Swallowing my pride
On a three-ring circus ride
They watch us from the ringside seats
As the knife throwing commences
And though it all looks very cheap
I still can't bring you to your senses
I was on the high wire looking down
For my safety net
When I swear I saw you with that clown
How can I forget?
You can learn to swallow swords
But it hurts so much more
Swallowing your pride
On a three-ring circus ride
Some people ride the wall of death
And it's so dangerously thrilling
Some people fall and break their necks
With just the sky above still spinning
Juggling a precious thing
Pretty soon it will all be broken
If you think I'll jump through hoops with him
I think you must be joking
I was on the high wire looking down
For my safety net
When I swear I saw you with that clown
How can I forget?
You know that trick they do with swords
Well it hurts so much more
Swallowing my pride
On a three-ring circus ride
