[Verse 1]
The lions roar and young men soar
The flames all scorch the circus floor
Puppets on strings all dance and sing
And flap their wings
Trumpets play sick lullabies

[Verse 2]
Delicate dame, her fragile face
Was scared away without a trace
Out in the cold, where did she go?
Into unknown, a place I'll never know

[Chorus]
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you

[Verse 3]
Elephants rear and young men steer
The audience just claps and cheers
I asked around half-empty towns
About a girl nowhere to be found

[Chorus]
And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you
[Verse 4]
We didn't know we could not go
The circus songs just carried on
Out of the crowd, three men rush out
And scream and shout, "Everybody stop!"
