Under the tent,
I call the tune,
from the darkside of
a jester's moon.
I pull you in
by your desire,
offering all that
madness requires.

For the show must go on----
The show must go on-----

Come see my show.
Play your role.
I've got a place
for you.
Be a clown or
an acrobat--
an exhibit in
my zoo.

For the show must go on----
The show must go on-----

Swallow fire
juggle knives.
My whip commands
broken lives--
Bare-back rider
in a ring,
Nightmare takes you
thundering--

For the show must go on----
The show must go on-----

I will hold you--I will own you---
I will use you--for my dark pleasure--
I'm the ringmaster--born of your fear
Like a grave, I will shelter--you forever--

The show will go on----
The show must go on and on and on----
