The circus is closed tonight
And our heroine is down tonight
On the floor
Center stage is empty tonight
The trapeze swings silent
With her corset unlaced
Painted smile on her face
Silence embrace
Out goes the spotlight
On her own, feeling rather low
Holding on, beneath the street light glow
Could you stay, just stay close tonight
No more, no more romancing the ordinary
The city freezes tonight
And our heroine can't sleep tonight
Away from the crowd
The sight and the sound
Runaway train
Caught in the blaze
She comes and goes
Leaving prints in the snow
She's played her role
No more pretending
On her own, feeling rather low
Holding on, beneath the street light glow
Could you stay, just stay close tonight
No more, no more romancing the ordinary
It's a long way down
And I just can't let them watch me fall again
The crowd is calling, I don't care
There's no show to see up here
The circus is closed tonight
Our heroine, she's down tonight
Smile erased, her reality in place
All feels the same
It all feels the same
