Before your very eyes Here's a trick to fool your mind Chase the shadows of deception With nothing up my sleeve I compel you to believe In the sound of my conviction Sensations you'll embrace You'll see and be amazed The things that defy all rhyme and reason With your heart pounding hard and fast You take the chance and step In to the Circus of Illusion Crack the whip to tame Jump the lions thru hoops of flame Then confine them in their cages Acrobatics show their strength With their grip They hold and sway Fly thru the air to one another Lose yourself in wonder It's a spell you're under What you think you see Just might not be real And the tears you see On the clown that's smiling Tears of joy but deep inside You know he's really dying Before your very eyes What once was, no longer lies Inside of this Circus of Illusion
