You shouldn't put a lion in a cage
You shouldn't put a lion in a cage
On a cart, on a train to go travel so far
On a cart, on a train to go travel so far
And everyone knows better, yet it's something we pay to see
And everyone knows better, yet it's something we pay to see
He's strong and wild
He's strong and wild
In all the ways that you'd like to be
In all the ways that you'd like to be
And everybody loves a circus
And everybody loves a circus
But nobody knows it as well as I do
But nobody knows it as well as I do
Mmm
Mmm
You ask me if it's worth it
You ask me if it's worth it
I'll say that, 'it's what I know best how to do'

Mmm
Mmm
And everybody loves a circus

But nobody knows it as well as I do

You ask me if it's worth it

I'll say that it is if it leads me to you

You shouldn't put an elephant in chains for so long
You shouldn't put an elephant in chains for so long
He remembers everything, but not where he went wrong
He remembers everything, but not where he went wrong
And everyone knows better, yet it's something that we still do
And everyone knows better, yet it's something that we still do
He's kind, despite the places
He's kind, despite the places
That you're paying to bring him to
That you're paying to bring him to
And everybody loves a circus
And everybody loves a circus
But nobody knows it as well as I do
But nobody knows it as well as I do
Mmm
Mmm
You ask me if it's worth it

And then you came
And then you came
You didn't need glass slippers for your feet
You didn't need glass slippers for your feet
Just something for after the showers
Just something for after the shower
To keep 'em clean, and you're like me
To keep 'em clean, and you're like me
You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees
You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees
We didn't talk about it
We didn't talk about it
But the day would come we would set them
But the day would come we would set them
Then you came
Then you came
Sat on my lap, held a blade against my throat
Sat on my lap, held a blade against my throat
You could cut me, I didn't mind to bleed at all
You could cut me, I didn't mind to bleed at all
And you're like me
And you're like me
You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees
You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees
We didn't talk about it
We didn't talk about it
But the day would come we would set them free
But the day would come we would set them free
And everybody loves a circus
And everybody loves a circus
But nobody knows it as well as I do
But nobody knows it as well as I do
Mmm
Mmm
You ask me if it's worth it

I'll say that it's what I know best how to do
