The heart beats, deceived, behold the faces of men,
This is no stage for a show, escape while you can.
You'll stumble and fall, a jester's plight,
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
Say yes, say no, my dear, whatever you choose,
This world is a circus, we are all clowns, we can't lose.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
Say yes, say no, my dear, whatever you choose,
This world is a circus, we are all clowns, we can't lose.

The jester's message, the jester's sole deed,
The jester's reward, a planted seed.
Those who leave home in sorrow, in sorrow,
Return to their haven, find joy tomorrow.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.

His command prevails, as the sun descends low,
His command prevails, and the moon starts to glow.
Atop, the Master reigns, high above us all,
Below, the servants stand, answering to the call.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.

Oh, King of the jungle, you, the sovereign of might,
Oh, King of the jungle, you, the sovereign of light,
My music now plays, into the night!
On both sides, stands death, a silent decree,
Do this, or that, it makes no difference to me.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
Say yes, say no, my dear, whatever you choose,
This world is a circus, we are all clowns, we can't lose.
This world is a circus, we are all clowns in the light.
