作曲 : Gretchen Peters I work the high wire in the center ring Defying gravity, that's my thing Guess I never wanted no regular life I couldn't stand to be nobody's wife
Some people tell me that I'm livin' their dream But things in the circus ain't what they seem Believe me darlin' it's a lonely world It ain't easy for a circus girl
Nobody knows you when you come to town You're somebody's hero or you're somebody's clown And you hope like hell that it'll be enough Cause you're nobody's baby when the sun comes up
Bridge: You can dazzle 'em with beauty Make 'em laugh until they cry You can give 'em the thrill of a lifetime But they always say goodbye
It's just that sometimes I get so tired Of goin' nowhere on that little wire I'd like to plant my feet on solid ground But God have mercy it's a long way down
So I climb that ladder right on up to the sky I don't look down and I don't ask why And just for a moment I'm on top of the world Just for a moment I'm a circus girl
