Before you drop the final curtain 
Before the big tower crashes down 
Before you pack away my trunk case 
I'd like to take a final bounce 
One last chance to hear the laughter 
And see your face there in the crowd 
One last moment in the spotlight 
One last chance to be your clown 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
Hope setting up band tearing down 
You want a place to call forever 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
Somewhere you've lost that sense of wonder 
But that's still the place 
I'm bound 
I'm a storm man searchin' thunder 
I'm just a circus leaving town 
Once we could fill the room with laughter 
And fill each other's hearts with joy 
Through each trial and disaster 
Still we cling to our choice 
To take a path of one for giving 
A road that waits for no one 
You know we chose to keep on living 
Lord, tell me where did we go wrong 
I guess you're tired of walking tightropes 
Hope setting up band tearing down 
You want a place to call forever 
And rest your feet on solid ground 
Don't try to break this spell on monder 
Oh stop these wheels from spinning around 
I'm a storm man searchin' thunder 
Yes I'm just a circus leaving town 
Some day you'll wake up a wonder 
And your heart will start to pound 
And you'll long for the fonder 
And the kiss is of the clown
