In the sawdust ring Elephants sway heavy and gray
Trunks raised to the flickering light Clowns paint on their twisted delight
Round and round the big top spins Elephants chained,
clowns with grins Round and round,
the nightmare begins Elephants chained,
clowns with grins Crowd cheers blind to the pain inside Elephants march
in endless stride Clowns dance on the edge of the knife Hiding
the chaos of their lonely life
Round and round the big top spins Elephants chained,
clowns with grins Round and round,
the nightmare begins Elephants chained,
clowns with grins
Round and round the big top spins Elephants
chained, clowns with grins Round and round,
the nightmare begins
Round and round the big top spins Elephants chained,
clowns with grins Round and round,
the nightmare begins (yeah) Elephants chained,
clowns with grins (hummmm)
(elephants chained)
