Lyrics: Friends, foes, what can I say? I'm back for more, couldn't stay away People ask, "Where's part three?" You ready? You ready for me? I'm taking you back to age 20 There was love, deceit, and mystery When Shifty died, judge gave four years The worst thing ever that a kid could hear When you got a record, you're kinda screwed So I got a job cleaning up hotel rooms Then I saw a beauty that blew my mind When a circus came to town one night They threw a party at the banquet hall That's where I met her, at the Chaplin Ball Her name was Karla, I was so transfixed A rush of blood straight to my- (whoa!) Mysterious as a flight of doves That's tailed me ever since I lost my mom She invited me to watch her fly trapeze Bl parole, I do as I please Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own in bl city Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind and it feels real free Should I do it? (Yeah!), screw it? (Yeah!), prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!), tricky? (Yeah!), sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll, okay, let it roll, whoa We've got lions! We've got bears! We've got tigers in their -! Step right up, Nicky! Step right up! Welcome to the circus! I jumped in the back of a truck I thought, "Oh man, holy !" The circus was tailor-made for me Oddballs, misfits, living free Karla kept her cards real close She was hesitant to trust in folks One night, we were out watching the stars on a truck bleep finally opened up her heart My parents sent us on a ship in the night Escaped the war, a fresh start at life We docked at a little port town Chaplin was out, sniffing around Why two princesses want new dresses? Show you love and what success is For some reason, he liked me So, I did some tricks, pockets, how mean Jazzy hands, oh me likey! Come be a star, be like me! Just like that, it came to be, Brittle Bones Nicky back to being tricky Nobody ever been there to look out for me I'm all on my own in circus city Nobody ever been there to look out for me Caution to the wind, man, it feels real free Should I do it? (Yeah!), screw it? (Yeah!), prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!), tricky? (Yeah!), sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll, okay, let it roll Who knew I'd become a star? Still a fugitive, my life's bizarre I promised I'd never steal again "A foolproof plan, " that's what Karla said We'd escape from Chaplin's thumb I didn't know the scary bleep he'd done Kept their money and papers in a safe Key around his neck, girls knew their place Could I say no? She's all I had Risk was high, odds looked bad In his box at intermission My star performer, dope magician A trick, you say? Give us a preview Chaplin, could I demonstrate on you? Yes, yes, impress these guests! He had no clue I snatched the key from his neck Can't wait for your closing act If only they knew me and Karla's pact She's on stage, I'm set to close I snuck in, put the key in the hole Got the papers, got the cash Stuffed the bag, heart beating fast My heart was beating fast My heart was beating fast Man, how long can I make this last? Should I do it? (Yeah!), screw it? (Yeah!), prove it? (Yeah!) Even if it's risky? (Yeah!), tricky? (Yeah!), sticky? (Yeah!) Okay, let it roll, okay, let it roll As the ring leader called out my name (Brittle Bones Nicky!) Chap knew he'd been played Pacing my spot, casing this lot Is Karla coming? Karla is not Is she caught by racing thoughts? And, there she was, right on the dot I didn't mean to fall in love, you better run One last kiss And Nicky, they've got bangs! Her heart was ripped, I was made a fool She double-crossed me, it was cruel! It was cruel! She was cruel ( cruel) If it cost me my life, man, I'd save my only friend That's something I could live with, I could take that 'til the end Brittle Bones Nicky, not so crafty or tricky But that son of a won't fold 'Cause that son of a is gold Friends, foes, is there part four? Who knows what tricks I've got in store? But you know me (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) I never close that door
