The Grand Spec Lyrics > Water for Elephants

You wanna see something
To set your spine tingling
Something that blows Ringling
Out of the ring

You wanna feel something
You know is real, something
Beyond the paler things
You always feel

You've always felt something
Was out there just waiting
To be revealed, something
That makes it all worthwhile

Here in Benzini's ring
Is where you'll find the thing
That makes you shout

Ah!

That makes you stand

Oh!

That makes you laugh

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

That makes you smile

We got acrobats
You'll have to hold your hats
While they perform the trapeze
Into th? air they'll sail
At such a speed that they'll
Produce a palpabl? breeze

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Ahhhhhhhh!

Juggling juggernauts
Tumbling titans, cross
Tossing all caution aside
Nearly colliding
As fluid and frightening
As lightning
Igniting the sky

What's next?
What's next?
You wanna feel alive?
You wanna be inspired?
You wanna be perspiring
After ever act?
You want your heart to race?
You want to clutch your face?
Out of the sheer amazement
Of your en'tracte

Ladies and gentlemen
Now entering the ring
Two splendid renderings of grace
One beautiful, one bestial
One strong, one celestial
Complete in each other's embrace

You've never seen anything
Ever so evident
Of being heaven sent
As these!

Marlena and Rosie!

[elephant trumpets]

Benzini's back in business!

Ode to an elephant
Proud and regal
Ode to an elephant

Coming around the bend
Before our show can end
It's something better than the rest!
