[Verse] Step right up the tent is wide Clowns with secrets cannot hide A grin too sharp a laugh too loud Twisted faces haunt the crowd [Chorus] Round and round the shadows play Pennywise will make you stay Laughing crying spinning too The circus knows what frightens you [Verse 2] Balloons that float but never pop Mirrors show what time forgot Candy smells that turn to rust Cotton dreams dissolve to dust [Prechorus] The calliope screams your name The spotlight burns like guilt and shame [Chorus] Round and round the shadows play Pennywise will make you stay Laughing crying spinning too The circus knows what frightens you [Bridge] Ropes that tangle tight like fate Trapeze falls a second too late A carousel of endless dread Spinning whispers in your head
