I changed my name in search of fame to find the Midas touch   Oh I wish I'd never wanted then what I want now, twice as much   We crossed the mighty oceans and we had a few divides   But we never crossed emotion, for we felt too much inside      You know all the tales we tell, you know the band so well   Still I feel, somehow, we let you down   We went off somewhere on the way and now I see we have to pay   The rock n' roll circus is in town      Buffin' lost his child-like dreams and Mick lost his guitar   And Verden grew a line or two and Overend's just a rock n' roll star   Behind these shades, the visions fade, as I learn a thing or two   Oh but if I had my time again you all know just what I'd do      Rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't explain   The reasons for the sights and for the sounds   We went off somewhere on the way and now I see we have to pay   The rock n' roll circus is in town      So rock n' roll's a loser's game, it mesmerizes and I can't explain   The reasons for the sights and for the sounds   The greasepaint still sticks to my face, so what the hell I can't erase   The rock n' roll feeling from my mind      From my mind   From my mind   From my mind   ...
