You can leave now, you can go
Venture out and go see the show
Yeah stay out late and into the night
As a moth flying towards the bright lights
But…
I’ll be here waiting
I’ll be here waiting
Go ahead now stroll the fairway, don’t you stop
Why not take a look, take a peek under the big top
Wonder at the big cats and laugh at all the clowns
Buy that ticket and go ride the merry-go-round and around
But…
I’ll be here waiting
I’ll be here waiting
Because when all is said and done
There’s truly nothing new under the sun
And never would I ever force you to stay
You’ll just have to find your own way…
Back
So run off, greet the night, no hesitation go
Go out and get your fill, see the whole show
Only keep me in mind and keep my number handy
You see it’s not all balloons, caramel and cotton candy
And…
I won’t always be waiting
I won’t always be waiting
Because there’s only actors playing in a role
Most are just out to steal your soul
Yes you can leave the path, just don’t stray too far
You may not be able to come back to what you are

I love the metaphor of life being like a fair and the warning in the last stanza is so true.
