Circus girl
Like a rock, like a hook
Like I shook like thunder
Like a look from a goddess
Like a circus girl.

Any girl from nowhere
You know anyone from
Can make you faint
It ain't easy at that height
Like the trick of the light
And the paint on the face.

Just an ordinary woman
With the need to sing
To risk everything
Every night to fly like an angel
Shine like a star
Live like an animal
And sleep behind the sideshow.

Circus girl
Like a rock, like a hook
Like I shook like thunder
(Like a look) from a goddess
Like a circus girl.

Any girl from nowhere
You know anyone from
Can make you faint
It ain't easy at that height
Like the trick of the light
And the paint on the face.

Of an ordinary woman
With the need to sing
To risk everything
Every night to fly like an angel
Shine like a star
Live like an animal
And sleep behind the sideshow.

Circus girl
Like a (promise) like a (rock)
Like (aaah) like thunder
Like a look from a goddess
Like a circus girl.
