[Verse 1]
I could move to a small town and become a waitress
Say my name was Stacy and I was figuring things out
See, my baby, he left me
And I don't feel like it tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
I remember sleepless nights, I remember Chicago
I remember the music from the downstairs bar
"Girls, they just want to have fun"
And the rest of us hardly know who we are

[Chorus]
It's a dark, twisted road we are on
And we all have to walk it alone

[Verse 2]
I could join the circus when they come through town
Me and the freaks, the tamers and that old sad clown
I'd walk 'cross that tight rope head held high
So close to death I never more alive

[Chorus]
But you know it's a dark, twisted road we are on
And we all have to walk it alone
