Life is a circus, a crazy circus
With everybody in the ring at the same time and no-one waiting for the band to start
I think it's gonna blow the show apart
Life is a movie, we are the actors
But everybody's going round all thinking they should be the one to get the starring part
There's gonna be a lot of broken hearts

Feel like a rider in a wild west show
Caught up in a rodeo
I don't know which way to go

Life is an ocean, I want to swim it
I don't know which way I should go if I should ever want to try and find the nearest shore
Or if it's even what I'm looking for
Life is a mountain, I want to climb it
If I go up I have to stop if I go down I only get to where I've been before
I think there's got to be a little more

Feel like a rider in a wild west show
Caught up in a rodeo
I don't know which way to go

Can someone tell me what is going on, give me directions and I'll meet you there
If it's a joke it's going on too long, we've had all the thrills none of the fun of the fair
This roller coasters going much too fast, don't think we're gonna make it round the bend
I'm breathing every breath as if it is my last, hold on to your hats I think we're going round again

Life's a game of football, but no-ones watching
'Cause everybody's on the pitch and going mad cause there is on-one who can find the ball
It's gonna turn into a free for all

Feel like a rider in a wild west show
Caught up in a rodeo
I don't know which way to go
