| I went to the circus
|
| To waste some time
|
| The barker was yelling what’s on
|
| So I laid up my money
|
| And I waited in line
|
| The circus was just like home
|
| The crowd had gathered
|
| So I walked on by
|
| To backstage places unknown
|
| I could tell by the fire
|
| And the moon and the sky
|
| The circus was just like home
|
| There were animal cages
|
| And animal tails
|
| Woman who move like a poem
|
| With their vampire faces
|
| And beautiful nails
|
| The circus felt just like home
|
| The strong man was dancing
|
| In the clothes that he borrowed from a girl in the chorus line
|
| And the gypsy was drinking like there’s no tomorrow with the
|
| Ringmaster who was drinkng faster
|
| Blessing everybody with wine
|
| Behind at the lion tamer running around
|
| Looking like a Christian in Rome
|
| They were loading the cannon with the Portuguese clown
|
| And the circus was just like home
|
| The strong man was dancing in the clothes that he borrowed
|
| From a girl in the chorus line
|
| And the gypsy was drinking like there’s no tomorrow with the
|
| Ringmaster who was drinkng faster
|
| Blessing everybody with wine
|
| I went to the circus
|
| It was cash in advance
|
| The barker was yelling what’s on
|
| He said come to the circus
|
| You can smell the romance
|
| See all the tigers and elephants dance
|
| Thousands of suckers paid up for the chance
|
| And the circus was just like home |
