I dunno if you all have this one figured out or not, but it sure is one of my favorite songs.

"Circus"

*scream*
Lately I've thought about the things that you have said
And I've wondered quite a bit just what you might have read
I'm from the inside where the future's much too bright
I heard you crying (love?) but that don't make it right

Wooohooohooohoohooooo
Cause the end is coming soon
It won't be long
The tiiiyiiiiyiiiime has come...
There's a lot you know that's (something) all along
yeah haaahhh!

So if you'd rather feel the least bit insecure
I (something something something something) at your door
Cause when you're sleeping you'll be sorry that you...did
I've got the feeling, that i've (something something that rhymes with did)

Wooohooohooohoohooooo
Cause the end is coming soon
It won't be long
The tiiiyiiiiyiiiime has come...
There's a lot you know that's (something) all along
Yaaahhh hooooooooo!

Obviously, there are several parts I can't figure out. Does anyone have a better recording of this somewhere? I especially like the insane screaming.

I posted my interpretation (with help from several other members) a few months ago. (You can find the topic here.) You might want to check it out for a slightly different take on the words.

maybe it's "there's a lot you know that's got you on the run"... (?)

"I'll bring it down to you and set it at your door" maybe for the second line second verse
You're so fucking money you don't even know it
