lyrics

TINY BELLS

i put my back against the wall
shook myself down and waited for the call
it wasn't like i heard myself scream
over all the screaming in the background
of that dream

with tiny bells
the circus comes to town

and all the smoke behind the shades
never any mirrors, only windows with no panes
dust it off and leave it with the queen
who's crying in the corner with the extras
in that scene

with tiny bells
the circus comes to town
shootin' cells
and swirling around
with tiny bells
the circus comes to town

that night, we came without a voice
guided by the last of all the misfits and their toys
on the wall, there hangs a portal to the end
guarded by his majesty and all his merry men

with tiny bells
the circus comes to town
shootin' cells
and swirling around
with tiny bells
the circus comes
with hired help
to throw the stones
with tiny bells
the circus comes to town

there ain't no heroes in this place
just a lot of pretenders with a cruel grin on their face
before we go, we all must know
whether it's better to just get on with the show

with tiny bells
the circus comes to town
shootin' cells
and swirling around
with tiny bells
the circus comes
with hired help
to throw the stones
with tiny bells
the circus comes to town
