Now I, I want out of the circus 
Since the girl in the blue sparkly dress 
On one knee, I confessed
Put an end to that exchange of glances

Now I, I want out of the circus 
That old gang of dwarves 
Sometimes, they're downright feral 
When they, they've been around that old beer barrel 

The old lion's teeth 
Seems like a smile to me 
With some sweet relief 
I just stick my head in 

Now my tale, it's too ordinary 
For anyone to care at all 
Not like the man repeatedly struck by lightning 
When he bears his scars, we all know 

When he bears his scars, he's a star
