i>(spoken)
"Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the circus at the end of the world! Tonight, for your pleasure, we will laugh, and cry, and dance, and sing, but don't worry! None of it means a thing!"

(sung)
Welcome ladies, girls and boys
To this place of light and noise!
Dancing beauties spin like tops,
And skillful craftsman show their chops.
We laugh and cry year after year,
But don't look closely, there's no tears.
Nothing to say no thoughts to give,
We are so imaginative!

In my words there's nothing hid.
No deep meaning...I just kid!
All for your pleasure, light as rain.
Nothings hidden, there's no pain.
Hear the stories fancy free.
Hear these tales of fantasy.
No real journeys, no real pain,
No understanding left to gain!

Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie!

(Spoken faintly) Ladies and Gentlemen bring your wallet and your good behavior to the rear,
Where we will sell you a small piece of our souls
Just for your pleasure.
