It's all come down to this. My heart was beating like a drum. This was the moment. I am ready. I took the leap and landed on the rope. The microphone in my hand. The dark illumination of colour all around me. I took a breath. 'Here we go';
Now's the time, get in line, don't be afraid tonight
We're gonna take you high, before you realize
'Round and 'round you'll go, up and down, never slow
Feel the excitement grow, oh
This is where you let go
Hands high like a roller coaster
This love is taking over
Take us higher here we go
Oh, oh, oh
Welcome to the show!
Gravity we're defying,
'Cause we were made for flying!
We're about to lose control
Welcome to the show!
Oh, oh, we're on a mission nothing, nothing, can stand in our way!
Oh, oh, we don't need permission!
We're gonna rise up and we'll be the change
Oh, oh, hear us on your stereo
Oh, oh, we're about to lose control
Oh, oh, everybody knows
Oh, oh, this is where you let go!
Hands high like a roller coaster!
This love is taking over,
Take us higher here we go
Oh, oh, oh.
Welcome to the show!
Gravity we're defying
'Cause we were made for flying!
We're about to lose control
Welcome to the show!
And put your hands u-u-up
We're gonna have some f-u-n
We've only just begun!
And it's too late to run, you can't run!
So put 'em u-u-up!
We're gonna have some f-u-n!
Turn up the bass let it bump
We've only just begun, and you can't run!
Hands high like a
roller coaster
This love is taking over
Take us higher here we go
Oh, oh, oh
Welcome to the show
Gravity we're defying
'Cause we were made for flying
We're about to lose control
Welcome to the show(2x)!
We're gonna have some f-u-n
Turn up the bass let it bump
We've only just begun, and you can't run(2x)!
I landed in the center of the ring and called out to everyone in the audience;
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome To The Wonderful Wonder World!"
"Great job Marie!" Joker said from behind the certain. That was only the opening number. I still had one more to do. "You've come a long way." Joker smiled. I had come along way. I had abandoned my old outfit and now wore a strapless blue Corset with a white silk tutu. A large red bow held up the long collar of the Corset. Small black gloves with white silk at the ends. And Black boots. My hair had grown since I got here so I now wore it in braids.
"Yes. I have mostly you and Black to thank for that." I told him. "Better get out there and knock em' dead!" I cheered. He walked into the center of the ring.
I watched as the elephants danced around. My second number was next. I looked to the audience and saw the role holders. I haven't seen them since what two months ago? The Blue light landed on me. "Here we go now." I sung into the microphone.
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe
Well baby I'm a put-on-a-show kinda girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first (oh, oh)
I'm like the ringleader
I call the shots (call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker
I make it hot (make it hot)
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins (hah, hah, hah)
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break (hah, hah, hah)
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage (hah, hah, hah)
Better be ready, hope that ya feel the same (hah, hah, hah)
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
There's only two types of guys out there,
Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared
So baby I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship, so beware
I'm like a ringleader, I call the shots.
I'm like a firecracker,
I make
Let's go..(ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Let me see what you can do..(ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
I'm running this.
Yeah, like what..?
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
When I crack that whip, everybody gonna trip
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah)
Don't stand there watching me, follow me
Show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor
Just like a circus (ah, ah, ahaha-hah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho)
The last of the fireworks went off and blackness filled the room. It was all over. I had Performed both of my numbers and acts in the circus I have come to love so dear.
