Watch yourself. Watch your back
Juggle, catch whatever comes your way
A new circus everyday
A never ending masquerade
Big city lights
It’s always showtime
The 9-to-5’s a 9-to-life
And no one seems to mind
This non-stop carnival
All fun & games but the price isn’t fair
The prize you hope to win
Maybe it isn’t there?
Yet you can’t walk away
The show has you mesmerized
How long will you stay?
Enough
Enough
With all your high-speed high-tech
You still can’t connect, can’t relate
In a rat race with no finish line
Stay high cause that’s what it takes
This busy life
Distracted by the hype
It’s kept us too numb to love
Too scared to give up our disguise
This non-stop carnival
Has labyrinths that lead to nowhere
The prize you hoped you’d win
Baby it was never there
Yet you won’t walk away
There’s a lifestyle to justify
How long till you say?
Enough
Enough
Bridge:
Fast lanes, bright lights, skylines, all look good for a while
It’s a crazy carousel, spinning you around
You’ve had the thrill now you’ve stopped enjoying the ride
And there’s no meaning to what you found
–
In the dark, vampires wait
And hope you don’t find the light
These clowns are left without a face
When their makeup runs dry
So what’s your prize baby?
What are you gonna do?
This is the only race
Where you win when you lose
