History and release
The track was recorded along with nine other tracks in Brussels' ICP Studios between May and September 2008.

A remix of the song, titled "Farewell to the Fairground (Yuksek remix)", had previously appeared as a b-side to previous single "To Lose My Life". The single featured the band's cover version of "Love Lockdown" as a b-side, originally performed by Kanye West. The single charted at #84 in the week of its release.

Lyrics:
The light still in our eyes
We're leaving this old fairground behind
It's a dream that's growing cold
The circus never dies
The act forever haunts these skies
I know we cannot stay
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren't working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
This place used to gleam
I'd see it in my hopeful dreams
Now I have to get away
We move towards the stars
And all that we touch becomes ours
Let's keep warm 'til it's day
Farewell to the fairground
These rides aren't working anymore
Goodbye to this dead town
Until the ice begins to thaw
We'll head south just hold my hand now
I feel like I'm casting off my clothes
And I'm running through the s...
