Circus For Sale

Circus for sale

It's all coming down

Tent pegs pulled up one by one

When the crowds have gone home

We'll be left on our own

To watch the pale morning arrive

Wasn't it easy? Wasn't it fun?

And a place for us freaks

To call home for a while

Circus for sale

If you add it all up

There's quite a good deal to be made

Where else can you buy

A man who can fly

Or a girl who eats fire with a smile?

All for the money

That's where it's gone

The last act that makes

The whole show disappear

Open your eyes, see a man on a wire

Who floats in a circle of light
