The legends are dead the truth murdered all the chatter got boring we’d laughed for it all
The crimes became common the times got old the rain was pouring and we all got told

The greatest is over it’s out with the tide
The greatest is over the crowd died
Time to go home and settle down the greatest is over and they won’t know but the greatest is over now

The butterflies turned to punches to the stomach I was crying but no one could see me
Hear the voices singing in my mind racing down roads with broken bones
They shut down the circus fell from the tightrope I came plummeting down
Acrobats look like clowns what on earth could be worse now
The greatest is over it’s out with the tide
The greatest is over the crowd died
Time to go home and settle down
The greatest is over and they won’t know
But the greatest is over now

What about me and what about you and what about the promises what about them
What a good time it stretched out for miles but all the stars died nothing to see for miles
What about the bad guys what about the girl crying on the sidelines
I don’t know where I’m to go now cause that was all I ever knew as home

The greatest is over it’s out with the tide
The greatest is over the crowd died
Time to go home and settle down
The greatest is over and they won’t know
But the greatest is over now

The greatest is over it’s out with the tide
The greatest is over the crowd died
Time to go home and settle down
The greatest is over and they won’t know
But the greatest is over now

Oh no no no no
The greatest the greatest
The greatest is over now
