Lyrics
In a traveling circus
where i was juggling fire
she walked a tightrope
without a net
out of nothing more than boredom
we combined her act and mine
which we thought was funny
but scared everybody else to death
and it was always our intention
to let go before we got burned
of course we never did
cause that's just not how we learn
and she said she always imagined
we might go out in that fashion
but i never cared
cause i didn't think that you'd get hurt
the clowns had acted out
our demise a thousand times
to the laughter of the middle-class
and their kids
but that night the silence was as loud
as any drunken, southern crowd
when we hit the ground
the way we did
and it was always our intention
to let go before we got burned
of course we never did
cause that's just not how we learn
and she said she always imagined
we might go out in that fashion
but i never cared
cause i didn't think that you'd get hurt
we landed in the bleachers
between the kids and all the teachers
we set the big top on fire
scarred a lot of folks
scared the animals off with the smoke
and you became the victim of my desire
and it was always our intention
to let go before we got burned
of course we never did
cause that's just not how we learn
and she said she always imagined
we might go out in that fashion
but i never cared
cause i didn't think that you'd get hurt
