[Verse 1] Under the canvas, a shadow lingers Painted faces, hands of sinners The lion sleeps, the whip cracks faint Colors spin while the daylight wanes [Pre-Chorus] Round and round the wheel won’t stop Trapped inside the big top [Chorus] The big top, the big top No way out the big top Round and round the big top The big top [Verse 2] Tightrope walkers tremble in fear Laughter echoes, but no one’s near A clown’s tear runs through powder white Every act hides something out of sight [Bridge] Spinning lights, they blind my mind Every turn rewinds the night The mirrors crack but don’t reflect The truth we lost, the lies we protect [Chorus] The big top, the big top No escape the big top Round and round the big top The big top
