Put Your Hands Together, Now Pull Your Hands Apart

The excitement's overwhelming
From daylight until dawn
Kissing but not telling
At all the goings-on

As we put our hands together 
Then pull our hands apart 

Defying Gravity 
The crowd is on their feet 
Imagine if you can the scene 
Then add an extra scream 

As we put our hands together
Then pull our hands apart

It's like a three-ring circus
Without the scary clowns
I'm told that they won't hurt us
But still don't like them around

As we put our hands together
Then pull our hands apart

The politician is center stage 
Promising free rounds
To change our minds is it too late
Could you send back in the clowns 

As we put our hands together
Then pull our hands apart 

We're clapping cause they're clapping
They're clapping cause we are
Talk about your crowd control
Is that now where we are

As we put our hands together
Then pull our hands apart
