[00:22.83]I work the high wire in the center ring
[00:27.93]Defying gravity that's my thing
[00:32.31]Guess I never wanted no regular life
[00:37.11]I couldn't stand to be nobody's wife
[00:41.55]Some people tell me that I'm livin' their dream
[00:46.29]But things in the circus ain't what they seem
[00:51.12]Believe me darlin' it's a lonely world
[00:56.01]It ain't easy for a circus girl
[01:09.81]Nobody knows you when you come to town
[01:14.43]You're somebody's hero or you're somebody's clown
[01:19.35]And you hope like hell that it'll be enough
[01:23.01]Cause you're nobody's baby when the sun comes up
[01:27.33]Bridge: You can dazzle 'em with beauty
[01:32.64]Make 'em laugh until they cry
[01:37.44]You can give 'em the thrill of a lifetime
[01:42.06]But they always say goodbye
[01:54.63]It's just that sometimes I get so tired
[01:59.37]Of goin' nowhere on that little wire
[02:03.90]I'd like to plant my feet on solid ground
[02:08.49]But God have mercy it's a long way down
[02:35.40]So I climb that ladder right on up to the sky
[02:40.41]I don't look down and I don't ask why
[02:45.00]And just for a moment I'm on top of the world
[02:53.25]Just for a moment I'm a circus girl
