Lyrics

The carousels, they come to life
Filling the darkness with big bright lights
And the laughter and music that once was elusive
Is now on repeat in our minds
When does the repetition end?
Our realities and dreams start to blend
And our dreams become boring and bland

We need excitement
We need to live our lives
It's going 'round in one big circle if it's always going right
We need excitement
We need to live our lives
And in order to progress we need to leave the perfect past behind
We have greener pastures to find

I was once confronted by a clown
In place of a smile, he was wearing a frown
He said "D'you think I piss glitter, I vomit rainbows?
The shit that I go through no-one knows
But every day I perform, and I maintain a smile
And when I see the joy in my audience's eyes
It keeps me sane for a while"

Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show
It's so my brain don't go from slow to comatose
Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show
It's just therapy to keep me on my toes
Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show
It's an addiction that stops me growing old
Ladies and gentlemen, this ain't your standard show
