Christina Aguilera - Enter The Circus Lyrics






Ladies and gentlemen
Boys and girls
Step right up, step right up
Come closer, you won't believe your eyes
Behind this curtain,
Witness something you've never seen before,
Heard before, dreamt before
The most amazing show on earth

La la la la la la la
It's the most amazing show on earth
La la la la la la la

Do you want to be widely entertained?
People to know your name?
Do you crave fame?
Well they say "things aren't always what they seem to be"
Even your greatest fantasies
You won't believe your eyes
Won't even recognise
The wonderment that lies
Behind the shimmer and the lights

Is it true what they say?
Is it all just fun and games?
Or is there more behind the makeup,
And the faces full of paint?

I ask you, do you want to come and play?
Hahahaha
Get the world to come and play
Hahahaha

So sit back, relax, fasten your seatbelts
It's going to be a bumpy ride to the other side

  38. W.... ....

    They person who is talking in this track is Linda Perry. She said they took a song and divided in 3: this one/ welcome and Hurt. Actually, I believe Christina + Perry = Perfection!

  39. P.... P....

    also for Carnevil scarezones from Knotts Scary Farm!!! Clowns

  40. M.... M....

    Seriously? This is just a blank black screen with music! 👎 Where's the music video? You could at least have pictures!

    M.... M....

    +Monique Maes Yeaaah. I didn't know how to make videos back in the day. I'm too lazy/busy to edit it these days, but I might try to edit it if people would really like to have it!

    M.... M....

    @Amelior Deliberation My bad! I didn't even see when it was posted, sorry for being a bitch! Lol

    M.... M....

    @Monique Maes Hahahaha! Knowing that you were apologizing to your audience for sharing an aesthetically bland video to social media makes everything alright. Lol, no probs xD

  50. M.... ....

    This song is anti-Illuminati. She realized stardom is not worth selling your soul for. Her career hasn't been quite the same since then but at least she has her integrity.

    M.... ....

    You guys are so fucking stupid

  51. S.... R....

    We're doing this for winter guard but we took out Christina and input some amazing dub step.

  58. N.... E....

    Hey, i am doing a showcase about circus, and this cut of music would be absolutely amazing and perfect for it!!! I was wondering if there was anyway i could get my hands on this exact copy!?!?
     Hope u can help. Thanks.

    N.... E....

    I am SUU sorry.. I don't have the files anymore (I was actually asked this question FOR a similar reason last year.)
    UMM, if you can get your hands on .mp3 copies of the "Enter the Circus" and "Welcome" you can use http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ to
    a) put both songs into one file, then
    b) edit the file to where the "Enter the Circus" "cuts in" right after the other.

    N.... E....

    oh thats ok. thanks anyways :)

  59. c.... ....

    i love this song.. it's kinda creepy tho

  60. M.... B....

    You Homestuck freaks need to get a fucking life.  This is Christina's song and you losers wouldn't even be here without her.

    M.... B....

    Relax.. - You're right, it wouldn't be here without her..or maybe her crew.. Whoever came up with the idea.
    Hopefully Homestucks respect that.. And hopefully you respect that they like Enter The Circus better :P

    M.... B....

    *shrug*

  61. C.... ....

    HoNk :o) Welcome to the dark carnival, brother.

  62. J.... D....

  64. A.... M....

    Hello all! Greetings, welcome to the circus. Witness here, nothing you've never seen before heard before dreamt before! This is the act you all have been waiting for, the ringmaster'a act. For you today he is going to tame a vicious dire wolf for you! Can he do it? He opens the cage and the wolf leaps after him and it tears his chest open, ripping his right arm off. He has failed, and the price was his life. His audience flees from the scene as I am sitting in the stands alone a feral tiger comes up that a fool releases. I back up and it pounces on me and tears me limb from limb. (( like if it's a good story and dislike if it's not. Reply to me if you have questions))

    A.... M....

    Honestly, I think it all happened a bit fast. Maybe a little slower pacing when he opens the cage. Like, the wolf is glaring at him and drooling like it wants to eat him or something. Its a good start, though!

    A.... M....

    Oof, three years ago. Apologies if within the gap from when you wrote this and now you have learned these, but as a passionate writer, I'd like to give a few tips. More adjectives are extremely effective, and give the reader a clearer picture, and a feel if the scene. And, as time goes slower when your heart is racing, it'd be more realistic.

    A.... M....

    Because it's a brilliant subject and idea, however, I hope you'll let me have a go at it myself.
    *ehem*
    The host of the circus beamed down at the crowd from his station high above. The red and white striped tent was filled with children and adults alike, equally buzzing with excitement.
    "Hello all!" the host boomed. "Welcome to the circus! Witness here, nothing you've ever seen before, heard before, even dreamed before! This is the act you've all been waiting for: the ringmaster's act!"
    On the stage below was a tall man in a purple suit and a matching top hat, with curly black hair and a strong jaw. In front of him was a cage incasing a burly four-legged figure, emitting deep-throated growls.
    "For you, ladies and gentlemen," the host called, "he is going to try and tame a vicious wolf, that very well might rip him to shreds! Will he do it? What do you think?" he asked the crowd, who roared and applauded.
    The ringmaster approached the cage. The wolf stared deep into his eyes, its hackles raised, its teeth bared, growling. Spit was drooling from its lips and matting its fur. It was thin, its ribs were showing; it hadn't been fed in days. There was a hungry, revengeful look in its eyes.
    The ringmaster took a deep breath, and warily opened the latch of the cage. All at once, the wolf sprang onto the ringmaster, sinking its jaws into his neck, causing blood to gush out of it. The wolf shook its head viciously, so that a chunk of flesh was ripped off. The wolf enjoyed its meal, and gratefully started on its foe's stomach.
    The crowd gasped. They stared, aghast, at the wolf. Parents covered their children's eyes. The host swallowed.
    "Uh, we apologise for this unforseen event," he stammered, "and we'll call the huntsman and the police immediately. Please make your way carefully to the exits. If there is any need for it, there is an axe by the door for emergencies."
    The host stood up quickly, practically running to the stairs that led down from his perch. But they were blocked. There was a snarling, muscular, black and orange tiger prowling up the stairs towards the host. It's movements were slow and steady, its paws large and heavy, its shoulder blades raised, its eyes gleaming. It growled - a low, terrifying sound - and pounced. Sharp teeth dug into the host's stomach as he was forced to the ground. The large paws winded him, and he could feel his blood leaving him, slowly getting weaker. He felt a searing sharp pain in his side as the tiger ripped a chunk of flesh from him, and with one final shrill cry of pain, the world faded around him.

    That was fun, thanks for the idea! If there's any feedback, please let me know. I'm always looking for ways to improve my writing!

    A.... M....

    Leah Smith okay holy sh*t that was good thank you for adding this! You should put it on wattpad or somewhere publicly

    A.... M....

    Geekyvampire Gamer oh thanks! Glad you liked it. I don't often post my work publicly though, and I don't think I'll be posting on Wattpad for now. I'm hoping to publish something and I want to keep it all private until then. Thanks :)

  65. R.... M....

    He's a homestuck
    She's a homestuck
    I'm a homestuck
    Everyone's a homestuck

    HOMESTUCK EVERYWHERE
    GOD HELP US

    R.... M....

    Raven Makara I found this song because of Homestuck and I have absolutely 0 regrets

    Everyday i ask what is life about?.....

  68. S.... B....

    :o) this. .is ..the. shit bro

  69. R.... N....

    This song is about being famous and how they make it look glamorous but it's more to it than what they present on television. The people in Hollywood /Entertainment business take a lot of crap to gain the world. That's why she pose the question in the song.

    "Are you selling them your soul?"

  70. L.... A....

    HoNk :o)

  71. s.... ....

    Christina Is such a a great artist!

    Wait hold on, I like both parts. Just had to flatter the Gamzee fans C:

    A.... S....

    Of which there are many. Even now.

  81. A.... S....

    Actually this might help.. I actually had to weave together two separate audio tracks (which were played together on the CD). Anyone looking for the first part of the video (the awesome part ;) search for: Christina Aguilera - Back to Basics - Enter the Circus

  82. a.... ....

    go here to "audiothief". Then there are the instructions

  83. s.... ....

    The begining suggests such creepy splendor...and then...she sings... An interesting mix to be honest.

  84. L.... H....

    TaVbRo :o)

  85. A.... S....

    If I could only get this file off of my old computer x_x I doubt I'll be able to..

  86. L.... M....

    gAMZEE,

  87. A.... T....

    Whoa, everyone IS talking about Homestuck down here!

  88. C.... ....

    I seem to be having some troubles finding both songs together like this in mp3, do you happen to have a link to share to download this version?

  89. A.... ....

    this song is usually connected to a character of a web-comic called Homestuck, Gamzee Makara, who dresses up like a clown with make-up and stuff

  90. g.... ....

    Carnival music, video author has a profile pic of an eclypse of a green sun... you can't fool us, Scratch.

  98. l.... k....
