But I’m keeping the faith
In some other place
I’m keeping the faith
And moving on
We all want to run away to the circus
The circus calls us away
Lured by the light in the night
And how it fights the inevitable
It never gets old when darkness surrounds us
Darkness never gets old
I’m learning to savor the favors of midnight
They can keep you warm
And I’m keeping the faith
In some other place
I’m keeping the faith
In moving on
The ringmaster bellows just like his fellow
Lions in the cage
Eying the children, pacing a snarling
Getting ready to grace the stage
Clowns do there rounds, laughter abounds
Strike up the band, let the ponies parade
Dancing a two-step, dancing a cake walk
Singing a honky-tonk refrain
Working for peanuts, living off hard luck
But, baby, the show must go on
We’ll raise up our tent in any town that will have us
Or else we’ll be moving on
I’m keeping the faith
In some other place
I’m keeping the faith
In moving on
