Boy have you heard the news 
They're coming in 
From miles around 
Yeah the big show 
The big top 
Is back in town 
And all of the kids 
Have stars in their eyes 
Stars in their eyes 
You and that old guitar 
You're a round peg 
In this little town square 
I've been doing cartwheels 
For so long 
And getting nowhere 
And this ticket in 
Could be our ticket out 
Our ticket out (Chorus) 
When the crowds gone home 
And we're all alone 
You holding my cotton candy hand 
And the tent comes down 
And the freaks leave town 
There'll be two more clowns in that 
Caravan 'Cause there's no place 
In an ordinary world 
For a lost boy 
And a circus girl 
Hey would you look at her 
On a trapeze 
Up so high 
Bet nobody ever told 
The trapeze lady 
She can't fly 
And she's not afraid 
She never looks down 
Never looks down (Repeat Chorus) 
Looks like everybody's had 
Enough magic for one day 
But the magic doesn't have to fade away 
Fade away (Repeat Chorus) 
For a lost boy 
And a circus girl 
Circus girl
