Bareback Rider

Bareback rider
Center ring of the circus
Spotlight upon you
As you circle round and round
As you circle round and round

Bareback rider
All eyes are upon you
All fears are behind you
As you stand up straight and tall
As you cartwheel but never fall

Bareback rider
How long can you stay there?
How long can you play there?
In the center of the ring
When it does’t mean a thing?

Bareback rider
With your blades all a whirling
Through the air you’re a twirling
If you drop them, dance away
There’s a price you mustn’t pay

Bareback rider
I come to your circus
I come here to watch you
As you circle round and round
And you never touch the ground
But you circle round and round
Round and round
