Circus Tent

In circles we waltz entirely gone Needles for stilts from dusk until dawn Come join us to watch for the show's just begun Please gather your treats for here we have fun A carousel muffles tunes from a drowned dream Down from where one musters no screams Slowly they surface tired goats and the sheep Weary legs bog through and through in their sleep With shiny bulb noses persistently trudge In circles consistently stirring the fudge With sulky eyes darkened puddled and draining From sockets of pain and constant raining In circles Eyes spiraling In circles head spinning In circles Eyes spiraling In circles head spinning You see they vanish deep into the dark Marshland of sweet death so they may embark On treks-a-voyage Exquisite devine But twisted in bliss from a mesmerizing chime But stay below no they pace themselves slow So they may arrive to the surface a-glow Their world was revived with a comforting song Of horns playing tunes as if nothing went wrong In circles Eyes spiraling In circles head spinning In circles Eyes spiraling In circles head spinning You see their limbs grew weary To tolerate another show They no longer will stand the pain Fouled with lies they hardly stood Setting themselves free for good
