[Verse 1]
Mm-hm, hmm
When the circus came to town
All my wildest dreams I lost
Were finally found
On the tightrope high above
I would walk so many miles
Never touching ground

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Long and winding road
I never do just what I'm told
So burn it up, let the flame go higher
Gonna light it up, like a ring of fire
Yeah, we ride or die
Pullin' all the stops
Like a cannonball
You can shoot me through the top

[Chorus]
Yesterday
I was the prim and proper passenger
And today
I am the worldwide freak ambassador
Yeah, tomorrow never knows
That's the story of my life
[Verse 2]
Like a lion out of the cage
You best go run and hide
If you stoke this rage
See, I've been hungry for so long
Through these eyes I see
So much I wanna feast upon

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(I'm ready to go)
Long and winding road
(I'm so ready to go)
I never do just what I'm told
Gonna burn it up
Let the flame go higher
Gonna light it up, like a ring of fire
Yeah, we ride or die
Pullin' all the stops
Like a cannonball
You can shoot me through the top

[Chorus]
Yesterday
I was the prim and proper passenger
And today
I am the worldwide freak ambassador
Yeah, tomorrow never knows
That's the story of my life
[Outro]
That's the story of my life
That's the story of my life
