| Now Playing: Circus |
| Lyrics: Circus (B. Russell, L. Alter) Circus, life was a circus, a hectic thing The moon was a toy balloon we had on a string Gay banners unfurl lovely confusion We were in another world A world of illusion And as in the circus Daring young love on a high trapeze We certainly flew through the air With the greatest of ease We painted the town Did it up brown, I was the clown You were the laughter, echoing after Yesterday the circus left town Big tops, skys are blue, stars were happy too Put on the greatest show, on earth Front row, paradise, and well worth the price What more excitement can you know on earth? Slowly you wake believing This wasn’t make-believing, no, no As you unmask yourself You only can ask yourself Where did it go? Where did it go? Circus, daring young love on a high trapeze We certainly flew through the air With the greatest of ease We painted the town Did it up brown, I was the clown You were the laughter, echoing after Yesterday the circus… left town! |
