Lyrics

MUDSHOW – Krista Detor 09/04
Started out a sailor, I got the draft at eighteen
Never got anywhere near any war like the
Kind some people seen
Twenty years later I ran away from home
Long run of bad luck I found myself all
Alone
Didn’t leave a note, left the kitchen light on
Went and joined the circus to paint a
Happy face on
Didn’t know nothing bout no tightrope walkin,
Too big for a clown car
They handed me a shovel and they didn’t ask
Questions,
Led me to the trailers, lookin at my future
CHORUS
And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin mud show
And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin mud show
There’s an ugly clown with big blue hair and
Red-ringed eyes
Has a lot of fun orderin me around though I’m
Twice his size (and I could kick his ass)
There’s a pretty flier up on the trapeze
Wrote her a poem and now she won’t
Look at me
Brought my boombox and I brought my CDs
Brought my toolbox cause it comes in handy
Sweepin the bleachers, a plastic graveyard of
Novelties and sticky gray cotton candy
CHORUS
And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin mud show
And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin mud show
Got some pictures in my wallet and I look at
Them occasionally
When I had a drink or two I look at who I
Used to be
Heard one of the handlers broke into a pharmacy
Head over later to see what he’s got for me
To… take the edge off
The wheel of death is turning and the
Wheel walker fakes a fall
Wish that they were faking when the
Car crash took ‘em all
Wish that he was faking when the
Cop made the phone call
