We thought we were the greatest show on Earth Two kids running around kicking up dirt Falling, flying, big top loving in a little old town When you're high-wire walking, don't you dare look down and tease the lions Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had heaven one day Just like that heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus You talked me into a ticket for two, Played with my heart for a grandstand view But the star attraction was smoke and magic Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had heaven one day Just like that heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus You runaway circus Oh Oh Oh, you toss love around like a juggling act Oh, you put your heart in a cannon and you didn't look back Just when I thought I had heaven one day Just like that heaven was packed and gone away All you left was a field of dust, you runaway circus You runaway circus You runaway circus
