D-DU-UDU
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 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 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.
(During the "Ladies and gentlemen..." part just play the following chords over and over)
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
All the pretty girls get cut in half
While the sad clowns make us laugh
I wanna make 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.
Just like me.
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.
All the pretty girls get cut in half
While the sad clowns make us laugh
