(Smotherman / Walker)
|
|
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
|
