Circus

If ever you're down with the blues

For a price we will thrill and amuse

If ever there's doom and there's gloom

We're the merriest crowd you could choose

Boys and girls and everyone else

Welcome to the circus

Boys and girls and everyone else

Welcome to the circus

Bit my tongue, yes I set it on fire

Watched it burn as you walked away

All alone on this merry-go-round

So dizzy from spinning around

You threw me on to a tightrope

But this isn't a balancing act

(If you put me there, I will fall)

The butterflies flutter by

Hurl myself through the air

As they say goodbye

And here I lie

And here I lie

The melody is so out of tune

But still I try to pull in the crowd

My demise is now the encore

Eulogize me while I'm alive

Holding on to a fly bar

But you didn't give me your hand

(But you didn't, yeah you didn't, give me your hand)

The butterflies flutter by

Hurl myself through the air

As they say goodbye

(As they say goodbye)

And here I lie

And here I lie

And here I lie

And here I lie

And here I lie

And here I lie

And here I lie
