I'm back in the circus   Back in the small town, big top   Backed up against the wall   And nothing's quite what I thought      I've got holes in my fishnets   Holes in my last alibi   And I can't remember   When it was that I last saw blue sky      And every town's the same    Only the names and faces change   On this rollercoaster ride, up and down   But I never get to the other side      Back in the circus   But at least I know the routine   Got back to back matinees,    Me and the drag-queens      We are queens of the funhouse   Kings of the real house of games   Yeah princes of darkness   And we're all on first name bases      And every man's the same   Only the times and places change   On this rollercoaster ride, up and down   But I never get to the other side      And all the pretty horses   And all the pretty men   Well they could not put this pretty heart   Back together again, O no      And every town's the same   Only the names and faces change   On this rollercoaster ride, up and down   But I never get to the other side      Every man's the same   Only the times and places change   On this rollercoaster ride, up and down   But I never get to the other side.
