[Verse]
Round and round the horses go
Painted smiles that never show
The tears behind the greasepaint glow
[Chorus]
Laugh laugh laugh to keep from crying
Spin the wheel while time is flying
The joke’s on me
The crowd’s replying
[Verse 2]
Juggling dreams that always fall
Walking tightropes
Feeling small
A safety net that’s not there at all
[Prechorus]
Step right up
The show’s begun
Hide your heart
Don’t let it run
[Chorus]
Laugh laugh laugh to keep from crying
A dancing fool who’s always trying
Life’s a game
There’s no denying
[Bridge]
The clown stares back from the glass
His painted face a frozen mask
The world’s a stage
We’re all the cast
