Circus

I was watching the man on the tightrope He was doing his best to stay up He was swaying from side to side And the crowd around him cried And the nails of the lady beside me Were digging into my skin And her breathing was becoming excited As they let the lions in She said Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now? With the smell of the beast in my nostrils And a look of pure fear in my eye The king of the jungle came forward And the crowd began to sigh And the lady who'd been sitting beside me Was lying upon the ground And the clown who was riding my cycle Was going around and around He said Fall, why don't you fall for my now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Come on and take me to the circus I wanna see the lion I wanna see the tiger I wanna see the chimpanzee The chimpanzee wanna see me ... all right Take me to the circus Come on and take me to the circus Come on and take me to the circus Take me to the circus Take me to the circus Come on and take me to the circus Come on and take me to the circus Take me to the circus Take me to the circus Take me to the circus You know I'm going home to my Marla And listen to some String Driven Thing I've had enough peaks in the circus And none of them are in the ring You know I'm going home to my Marla And hang on to her apron strings I've had enough of life in the circus With animals and everything She said Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now? Fall, why don't you fall for me now?
