Welcome Songtext / Lyric

Welcome to the greatest show, greatest show on earth
You've never seen before, let the fairy tale unfold
What's behind the smoke and glass
Painted faces, everybody wears a mask
Are you selling them your soul, will you be left out in the cold

Is it all blue skies, fun and games until you fall
Then you're left without anyone at all
You're riding on a shooting star with a smile upon your face
But soon the shine fades

And you're left out all alone, wondering where did they all go
Been jaded, hated who'll be around when the limelight's faded
Been shot down, pushed out
Made to smile when I wanted to frown, always taking a bow
Always working the crowd, always making the rounds
Always playing the clown who'll be sticking it out
Who'll be staying around when the lights go down
