Dream ring circus
Duct tape dreams
Can't find purpose
When we look behind the scenes

It doesn't make any sense
Why anyone would fake it to make it
It doesn't make any sense
I should have known, it's just a show

I should've known, should've known, should've known
I should've known, should've known, should've known

Sideshow magic
Image queen
It's so tragic
What you killed to live the dream

It doesn't make any sense
Why anyone would fake it to make it
It doesn't make any sense
I should have known, it's just a show

I should've known, should've known, should've known
I should've known, should've known, should've known
You stick your head into the flame
And then you wonder why it burns
You keep looking for the fame

Stick your head into the flame
And then you wonder why it burns
What will you do when the light runs out

I should've known, should've known, should've known
I should've known, should've known, should've known
You stick your head into the flame
And then you wonder why it burns
I should've known, should've known, should've known
I should've known, should've known, should've known
You stick your head into the flame
And then you wonder why it burns
