[Verse]
The streets are whispers loud and raw
They know your secrets they know your flaws
A smile today a knife tomorrow
Borrow your trust then steal your sorrow
[Chorus]
Oh it’s a small town circus spinning 'round
Lies and gossip hit the ground
They call you friend then twist the blade
In this parade of masquerade
[Verse 2]
The corner store's a courtroom now
Every aisle a raised eyebrow
They preach the love they claim is true
But wear their envy like perfume too
[Chorus]
Oh it’s a small town circus spinning 'round
Lies and gossip hit the ground
They call you friend then twist the blade
In this parade of masquerade
[Bridge]
Oh the lights may flicker but they never dim
The shadows talk the chances slim
You play the game to stay alive
But in this chaos you’ll survive
[Chorus]
Oh it’s a small town circus spinning 'round
Lies and gossip hit the ground
They call you friend then twist the blade
In this parade of masquerade
