Roll up! Come on, take a seat

Nobody bites, we're all friends here

Time to suspend disbelief

You will see wonderous things here

Bring out the weirdos and freaks

Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals

Bring on the liars and thieves

Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and

Nothing is quite as it seems

Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams

Under this peeling façade

Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check

We need the smell of the band

We heed the crack of the whip hand

These are the games that we play

Join the circus TODAY*

Welcome along to the show

All that we seek is attention

Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will

Give you their all if you show them affection

We are just marionettes

Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance

Bring on the liars and thieves

Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and

Styling it out as they scream

Into the void with a surrogate band

Hiding the cracks with a smile

This is illusion, a sleight of hand

We need to feel something real

We need the taste of the greasepaint

These are the games that we play

Join the circus TODAY*

Making it up as we go

Reeling around with the drunkards

Feeding the demons below

Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches

Bring out the weirdo's and freaks

Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals

Bring on the liars and thieves

Come on and join in the circus

Nothing is quite as it seems

Come on and join in the circus

You're at the end of your tether

Taking hits in filthy weather

This is not what you signed up for

Life should be a whole lot more than

This, it seems they're all out to piss you

Off don't let the bastards grind you

Down, they've got you spinning around some

Days you feel like giving up the

Chase, and I will always be

There, in your hair, when the

World is whack, I've got your

Back, and I swear, I will

Hold the line

Time after

Time

You've got the world on your shoulders

On the chain gang breaking boulders

Try hard but all your reward is

One step forward, two steps backward

You need a break need to catch a

Wave instead of all this shrapnel

And if you're stuck in a hole just

Call my name I'll try and pull you

Out, and I will always be

There, on your side, if you

Need a friend to help you

Mend, don't be shy, you can

Count on me, rely on 

Me, and I swear, I will

Hold the line

Time after

Time

[GTR SOLO]

And I will always be

True, here for you, if you're

Feeling small give me a

Call, yeah come around, we can

Turn the night to burning

Light, hold my hand, I will

Stick like glue through thin and

Thick, and I swear, I will

Hold the line

Time after

Time

Hey, you look cool, and I love your tattooed

Skin, got a thing for a girl in leather

We should go out, we'd look good together

I'm on the hunt for a friend for ever

So, let me show you round, far below the

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the

Rifft, it's not bad, got a reputation

Not what you need if you seek salvation

Sin, just a word, it's a way of life here

Got what you want, we have every vice here

So, let me show you round, far below the

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the

Rifft, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot, (where angels fear to tread) so come on 

Down, hit the town, you just name your poison 

Anything goes, there are no restrictions 

Do what you feel, they have seen it all here 

Once you walk in you will never leave here 

So, let me show you round, far below the 

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me 

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my 

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer the 

Rifft, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot, (where angels fear to tread) some like it 

Hot (where angels fear to tread)

Another morning dawns, but everything's not groov-ay

Its fucking freezing here, don't want to leave my duvet

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco

I dream of warmer climes and better times that could be

I'm in my summer clothes and eveyone is happy

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco

I'm gonna take a break I'm leaving on a Jet Plane

I'm gonna cross the States and head for Cali-forn-i-a

I'm gonna pick a peach and poke my finger down inside

Head down to Venice Beach and watch the surfers ride the tide

Take me to Space I want to get off my face I want to

Learn how how to live and feel the beat of the place so take me

Out on the town and show this new kid around because I'm

Too old to rock and roll, but I'm too young to die

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco

I'm gonna take a chance, I'm gonna dance my ass off

I'm gonna take a chance, I'm gonna dance my ass off

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco

Ready or not I'm breaking out of my box cos baby

I want to trade those golden arches for gates so wont you

Take me to Space I want to get off my face I want to

Learn how how to live and feel the beat of the place so take me

Out on the town and show this new kid around because I'm

Too old to rock and roll, but I'm too young to die

Give it up, San Francisco

I want love and shit disco
