Lyrics
Circus Comes to Town
Written by Sara Petite
Buddy, take a look inside my shoes
This carnival of happy tunes
But will you stand by me when I lose?
This smoke and mirrors is all a joke,
You laugh until you start to choke,
You’re choking on lipstick and rouge;
Lookie here, I’ve come down with the blues.
Sometimes I feel just like that dancing bear,
The masters standing on his chair;
He laughs at me,
The crowd does too.
He cracks his whip, tells me what to do,
I waltz and sparkle round the room,
I open up my heart for you to view…
Hey mister I got troubles just like you.
And the lights go up
The Ferris wheel goes round,
Cotton candy smiles,
Spotlight shining,
Can you hear the sounds?
I’m higher than a kite,
I swear I’m never coming down….
But Monday morning I’ll come down
Circus comes to town.
Dreaming ‘bout a girl,
Spinning on the wall
She looks like me but really small;
And a man he’s throwing daggers everywhere.
Near my head, my liver and my heart,
Flying fast a poison dart,
And I’m screaming is anybody there?
Does anybody really care?
And the lights go up
The Ferris wheel goes round,
Cotton candy smiles,
Spotlight shining,
Can you hear the sounds?
I’m higher than a kite,
I swear I’m never coming down….
But Monday morning I’ll come down
Circus comes to town.
Monkeys swinging on the old trapeze,
I climb up there to shoot the breeze,
So this is what it feels like to fly?
I’m floating like an acrobat,
Didn’t know that I would fall like that,
Hey mister could you give me one more try?
Cause I swear that I can fly….
And the lights go up
The Ferris wheel goes round,
Cotton candy smiles,
Spotlight shining,
Can you hear the sounds?
I’m higher than a kite,
I swear I’m never coming down….
But Monday morning I’ll come down
Circus comes to town.
