Lyrics:

Just an old man all on his own
Nobody wants him hangin' around
But he used to be famous, a star of the show
He stood in the spotlight and took the encore
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the light
He stood there and cried
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the light
He stood there and cried
People would watch him walk the high wire
In the eyes of the children he was a star
Born in the circus to a carnival clown
He stand in the picture, and the roar of the crowd
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the lights
He stood there and cried
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Sometimes I see him when my mind starts to dream
A star of the circus making me scream
He stands on the high wire, his name up in lights
When they closed down the circus, they ended his life
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the lights
He stood there and cried
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
When they turn out the lights
He just stood there and cried
When they turn out the lights
A part of him died
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When they turn out the lights
He stood there and cried
