lyrics

Welcome to the circus where we live on a thread
I was blinded by the colors, now I see only red
Red paint on his truck, red rage in his eyes
Red lights when he started to stay…

He could’ve drove away but he started to think
Bout her begging him to leave by the end of his drink
A smile on his face when he started to blow
You better call the neighbors cause its time for the show

Chorus
Gonna be a knockdown, drag out, junkyard fight
We’re gonna take it to the edge tonight
Keep your trigger loose and your gun held high
Nothing else matters but the red, red lights

She was tired of all the drinkin and the layin around
So one day she got the thinkin bout the pistol she found
He flew into the room, said “Its time for some fun”
She said ‘you better make it good cause you’ll only get one”

Chorus (2x)

He drank it all away
Crossed every line
She paid the price too many times

Welcome to the circus where we live on a thread
I was blinded by the colors now I see only red
Help is on the way with the sirens and all
They’re gonna be too late cause he’s heard his last call

Chorus (2x)
