Whatever happened to the great escape
The finest ever made?
Crafted with pride by masters of the trade,
The world´s greatest circus.

{Refrain:}
We had this story of the impossible,
A tale best told softly.
One of make-believe,
Maybe impossible to achieve, but really close.

Who soothed the lions hungry in their cage,
With the confidence of a clown?
A little man who rises on the stage
As he falls without a safety net?

{au Refrain}

Whatever happened to the great escape
And to all the plans we made?
Crafted with pride by Masters of the trade,
The world´s greatest circus.

{au Refrain}
