Song Description
The night circus is the drinkers and their alcohol related behaviour. The first verse sets the scene. The second verse focuses on the girls (Tigers in sequins).
The third verse aludes to the doormen (Penguins on steroids) as the ring masters
keeping in check the baboons (The intoxicated)
and how things can get out of hand.
The chorus invites.
The middle warns that you could potentially become the main attraction.

Lyrics
NIght circus see the clowns
It's only the price of a night on the town
See the freaks at midnight howl at the moon
Eyes spinnin like looney tunes
Tigers in sequins steal the show
With their manacured claws better mind how you go
They prowl in the lights burnin so bright
They could melt you with one look and steal you with one bite
(Chorus)
Roll up roll up, the neons are comin on
Roll up roll up and you can join the crazy throng
Roll up roll up the show lasts all night long
And youcan be the main attraction
At the night circus
The crack of the whip in the hands of a loon
Looks like a penguin on steroids god help the baboon
Who gets under his skin, the fireworks begin
Your never gonna know what the night circus is gonna bring
(Repeat Chorus)
(Middle)
And you better hold on to your inhibitions
And you better have yo a strong disposition
Or your gonna be the main attraction
At the night circus
(Repeat Chorus to finish)
