If I look like home to you
If I have to decide
Don't try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn't come to this
That you can say I waste my time
Lookin' everywhere
Goin' nowhere
For the skies, they look so lazy now
Heavy are the clouds
There's nothing here that I can learn
Of what it's all about
You haven't said a thing to me
You talk so very loud
Lookin' everywhere
Goin' nowhere
Well, I think I'll try the circus or go back to Mexico
It's time to make mistakes again
It's time to change the show
It's time and time and time again to find another way
It's time to gather forces
And get out of yesterday
Because I lost what I was lookin' for
There's nothing left to share
I need to take myself away
To be some other where
A face, a life, a minute more
I don't think I can spare
Lookin' everywhere
Goin' nowhere
'Cause I tell you when you hurt me
And you just don't seem to know
I inform you that I'm lonely
And you still don't think I'll go
So if I lie to you and smile a thought
That's only half-way here
It's just a circus and I'm singing
I'm never really near
If I look like home to you
If I'm your sign
Don' try to understand it girl
When I draw the line
It hasn't come to this
That you can say I waste my time
Lookin' everywhere
Lookin' everywhere
Lookin' everywhere
by Eric Clapton
Little man with his eyes on fire
And his smile so bright.
In his hands are the toys you gave
To fill his heart with delight.
And in the ring stands a circus clown
Holding up a knife.
What you see and what you will hear
Will last you for the rest of your life.
And it's sad, so sad,
There ain't no easy way round.
And it's sad, so sad,
All you friends gather round
'Cause the circus left town.
Little man with his heart so pure
And his love so fine.
Stick with me and I'll ride with you
Till the end of the line.
Hold my hand and I'll walk with you
Through the darkest night.
And when I smile I'll be thinking of you
And every little thing will be all right.
Chorus
Chorus
The circus left town, left town.
The circus left town, left town.
We put up our tent on a dark
Green knoll, outside of town by
The train tracks and a seagull dump
Topping the bill was Horse Face Ethel
And her 'Marvellous Pigs In Satin'
We pounded our stakes in the ground
All powder brown
And the branches spread like scary
Fingers reaching
We were in a pasture outside Kankakee
And One Eyed Myra, the queen of
The galley who trained the
Ostrich and the camels
She looked at me squinty with her
One good eye in a Roy Orbison
T-shirt as she bottle fed
An orangutan named Tripod
And then there was
Yodeling Elaine the
Queen of the air who wore a
Dollar sign medallion and she
Had a tiny bubble of spittle
Around her nostril and a
Little rusty tear, for she had
Lassoed and lost another
Tipsy sailor
And over in
The burnt yellow tent
By the frozen tractor, the
Music was like electric sugar
And Zuzu Bolin played
'Stavin' Chain' and Mighty
Tiny on the saw and he
Threw his head back with a
Mouth full of gold teeth
And they played 'Lopsided heart'
And 'Moon over Dog Street'
And by the time they played 'Moanin Low'
I was soakin' wet and wild eyed
And Doctor Bliss slipped me a
Preparation and I fell asleep with
'Livery Stable Blues' in my ear
And me and Molley Hoey drank
Pruno and Koolaid and she had a
Tattoo gun made out of a cassette
Motor and a guitar string and
She soaked a hanky in 3 Roses
And rubbed it on the spot
And drew a rickety heart and
A bent arrow and it hurt like hell
And Funeral Wells spun
Poodle Murphy on the target
As he threw his hardware,
Only once in Sheboygan did he miss
At a matinee on Diamond Pier and
She'd never let him forget it
They were doing two shows and she
Had a high fever and he took
Off a piece of her ear and
Tip Little told her she should
Leave the bum
But Poodle said, 'He fetched me
Last time I run.'
But I'd like to hammer this ring into a bullet
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear
And I wish I had some whiskey and a gun
My dear
There's only two types of people in the world
The ones that entertain and the ones that observe
Well baby, I'm a put-on-a-show kind of girl
Don't like the backseat, gotta be first
I'm a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
There's only two types of guys out there
Ones that can hang with me and ones that are scared
So baby, I hope that you came prepared
I run a tight ship so beware
I'm a like the ringleader, I call the shots
(Call the shots)
I'm like a firecracker, I make it hot
When I put on a show
I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins
Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break
I'm like a performer, the dancefloor is my stage
Better be ready, hope that you feel the same
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
Let's go
Let me see what you can do
I'm runnin' this like-like-like a circus
Yeah, like a what? Like-like-like a circus
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
All eyes on me in the center of the ring just like a circus
When I crack that whip, everybody gon' trip just like a circus
Don't stand there watching me, follow me, show me what you can do
Everybody let go, we can make a dancefloor just like a circus
Walkin around this concrete garden
Viewing all in vain
Thinking why a dream
Is driving everyone insane
Then something will come
And make you feel
The master in control
Still you're picking up
And screwing anyone
Whos got a soul
Ive been here
Far too long to remember
Sights and sounds
From this town of clowns
Makin up, dressin up
Walkin around
Thinkin that you're greta garbos
Im sorry my dears
But we only sat down
And laughed and laughed in sorrow
But it was you
That opened the door
And it's that we thank you for
Everyone insane ...
One day while I was searching
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you better be strong
What kind of circus is this ?
What kind of fools are we ?
When is the final curtain ?
What can I do to set me free ?
Welcome to the real world
You better be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
Too many games we have to play
They always change the rules
You and me just trying to get along
What can I do ?
Got to be strong
She walked into my daydream
She told me how it had to be
Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
Yeah yeah
Welcome to the real world
You got to be strong
Never know which way to go
It might end up wrong
Yeah yeah
Welcome to the picture show
It might end up wrong
So you better be strong
You got to be strong
time to pay
let them burn
punish and erase me
high time i suffer
count all my addictions
that surprise erection
that dirty obsession
my blood is on your hands
blood is on your hands
turn away from me, turn away
take everything away from me
you can still hear me laughing at you
this soul cannot be chained
can i get a witness
here i am
so what, here i stand
see you when i get there
rok hard dik in my hand
no, i don't expect you to understand shit
in the garden of heathens
we fuck confession
let the motherfucker fall
i watch him fall hard
turn away from me, turn away
cut me in half and play with me
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Lying while our fans are expected to last
Could it be that the jig is on us?
Masquerading like we are the one
Can you blame us?
It started as fun
Didn't know that the game must be won...
Sorry
Never did I lie; never did I need a trick yall
But they told me this how they get rich yall
Make a hit song, same lame lyrics, same bass, same kickdrum
Buy the record you became a big big victim
Bitch can't front, get what I want, neck, hands and my wrist numb
Sick none, diamonds on my wristband
Who I'm talking to? You, you and my biggest fan
Thinking that ya girl got it all, and I got the best man, best hair, best legs
Need a break, you in my face, asking K, what I'm putting out next year
Is it gonna be real freaky, critics wanna come critique me
Are you gonna be more grunge, rock and roll like back when you dropped before
But get back, before I get ill
Black love, black mask, listen to some real black love
That's all I have, that's all I have
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Lying while our fans are expected to last
Could it be that the jig is on us?
Masquerading like we are the one
Can you blame us?
It started as fun
Didn't know that the game must be won...
Sorry
Musicians, magicians, tightropes, strobe lights, lion tamers, entertainers, Sold Out Nights
Dressing rooms, costumes, who's doing who? Gossip rumors
Groupies just too much, everybody's like let's do lunch
That's why it doesn't matter
That's why I'm not a rapper
Still spit a few bars, might never hear this song
Label might say hell naw, get a new female star
She don't have to sing, she don't have to bring anything
Get her some new earrings, fly her off to Beijing
Book her shows in Wyoming, David Letterman and Conan
Your advance just alone and doesn't it all sound grand?
Number one on soundscan, just keep the clubs bouncing
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Lying while our fans are expected to last
Could it be that the jig is on us?
Masquerading like we are the one
Can you blame us?
It started as fun
Didn't know that the game must be won...
Sorry
How can I shake this circus clown?
What does the ringmaster need from this clown?
Should I dive through the circle of fire?
No... I'm just gonna be me
Come join our circus where we all wear masks
Lying while our fans are expected to last
Could it be that the jig is on us?
Masquerading like we are the one
Can you blame us?
It started as fun
Didn't know that the game must be won...
Outgrown the big top
But still shadowed by a doubt
Acrobats deceive, deceive me
No safety net to help you out
Selfconscious discipline
Unconscious disciple in bewildered religion
All the things you've said and done
Hope the art remains unharmed
Drifting away your child your lover
The thing you loved has poisoned you
Bitter talk that reeks of almond
Do pictures in a gallery scorn the painter?
Does a book destroy the writer?
In a field of inspiration
I see clowns approaching me
I look the other way to find a smile to cling to
Trying to justify, simplify and rectify the end
What ambitious man would sit back and onlook
While his dream goes sailing by
In the icy cold night he'll cry
With the kids tucked up and slippers dry
Circus
Tied up and gagged
Hooded and tagged
They're all yours to command
I am corpse, I am carrion prey
I have a crow at each brow
plucking eyes in my mask of death
The darkness is complete
Who's the hooded one, mother mine?
Who is gagged when all are silent?
and bitten when we move
Inflamed! My mask is burning
The night is dead; dark, putrid flesh turning
'pon a chair in the dying corner
I am your bagful of fear
I'll commit, I'll admit
I'll be the dagger, drive me in
I'll be all motionless and still
My river runs within - still and deep
I am beast, I am carrion prey to the Cyclops tribe
String me up to a cherry tree
come one, come all - and hang with me
I'm already hogtied - entangled in your marionette strings
I am dancing
the embodiment of fear
a shake for every fearful tear
a ruckus for the righteous
In the end
They no longer know
cast stones into mirrors - onto themselves
Mother mine!
Stab yourself, mother mine
bleed your own river, dark and wide
Mine runs within, still and deep
Couldn't carry her
Away
I cannot get the news on screen
A headfuck day in day out
Dumb shit of a hypocrite in pain
Been re-elected not respected
War is not an action game!
Rise with me - against the control
Proud we'll be - the other side
Raise your fist - against the control
Support, all you anarchists
Rock their butts to pieces
I ain't fucked up, do resist
Take your stand - against the control
Hand by hand - the other side
Take a ride - against the control
Hit them from the inner side
Rock their butts to pieces
I ain't fucked up, do resist
Cry when you feel the same!
Step by step in your own trap
On a one way track - it goes on and on again
And they're sending it again and again
A disgusting spot with the flames
That burn as Bush fires hot
Hit the Christian, hit the nation
You think I'm loaded baby I'm just fine met my bottle he's a friend of mine, I bring him to parties he won't leave my side ya, i'm a circus and I won't let down drink that shit oh baby till I drown and i'm not talking controversial sounds yeah and i don't get drunk but i'd push zero point eight i'm fucking glad i'm not DD and i don't get laid there's nothing happening down there you don't believe me wait and see don't know why I see that guy he makes me wanna have a seat and cry he's just pissed you can see it on his face. I'm not there, i'm just alone, i'm sitting here drinking on my throne hey don't mind me cause I was just passing through. Go to parties baby wait and see nothing but great catastrophe a narrow focus that's myself and me ya and I don't care that if you think my way I'll make a fool of myself anyway and all that's crap cause i'm just ready to play.
Tomorrow I will stretch out
Like an acrobat
And make my way to
What's there
I will get dressed
Again, in spite of all
With a laziness
Of a circus
Before or after the performance
As I'm walking down the many stairs
Remembering my stunts all over
Remembering I'm sick and like to die
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
What's left of longing on this earth
It took two days to lead up to this agony
Learning trust was just as slow
I just stopped seeing you as my enemy
I was not prepared to let you go
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
(Kelly/Mann)
There was writing on the walls
Looked like "Circus" there for me
We were smoking Karl Marx
With the junkies in the park
I watched the barmaid keeping track
By marking X's on our mats
And this is how it all began
On our first campaign to the Fatherland
The jet lag landed after hours
On an empty street in an Axis power
We broke the yardarm; it's too restricting
Cramped out style and cut our drinking down...
And this is how it all began
On our first campaign to the Fatherland
When we are falling
We got up to falling down
A canary yellow call-box
Gave me six marks worth of small talk
A broken conversation
Dulled by my intoxication
This is how it all began
Our first campaign to the Fatherland
"Let's go Europe" on the Kelly Plan
When we go up to
I know it's just a show for you
Baby it's what you do
But I don't wanna be just another performer in your circus
He trying to string me up like Pinocchio
What kinda fool do you take me for?
He want me in his lap, like he do the rest
But didn't Drake tell ya, She the best I ever had
You wear them chicks around yo neck, like you wearing a medallion
And take 'em to the club, make you look like you a star
May be fooling them but baby I know who you are
You must be crazy if you think I'll be your circus act, Noooo
He trying to wind me up, like a little doll
Tell me what I wanna hear and make me smile
Trying to make me think I'm his only chick
Get my number, just to add me to the list
You wear them chicks around yo neck, like you wearing a medallion
And take 'em to the club, make you look like you a star
May be fooling them but baby I know who you are
You must be crazy if you think I'll be your circus act, Noooo
You ain't finna have me like I'm one of ya bitches
You aint heard, you aint know boy I'm one in a million
All your money don't mean nothing, who you think you talking to?
*Buy a?, knock me thirty
Question is who you? Who you? Who you? Who you?
You must be crazy if ya, crazy if ya, crazy if ya think
Who you? Who you? Who you? Who you?
You must be crazy if you think I'll be ya circus act, Noooo
(Smotherman / Walker)
I went to the circus
To waste some time
The barker was yelling what's on
So I laid up my money
And I waited in line
The circus was just like home
The crowd had gathered
So I walked on by
To backstage places unknown
I could tell by the fire
And the moon and the sky
The circus was just like home
There were animal cages
And animal tails
Woman who move like a poem
With their vampire faces
And beautiful nails
The circus felt just like home
The strong man was dancing
In the clothes that he borrowed from a girl in the chorus line
And the gypsy was drinking like there's no tomorrow with the
Ringmaster who was drinkng faster
Blessing everybody with wine
Behind at the lion tamer running around
Looking like a Christian in Rome
They were loading the cannon with the Portuguese clown
And the circus was just like home
The strong man was dancing in the clothes that he borrowed
From a girl in the chorus line
And the gypsy was drinking like there's no tomorrow with the
Ringmaster who was drinkng faster
Blessing everybody with wine
I went to the circus
It was cash in advance
The barker was yelling what's on
He said come to the circus
You can smell the romance
See all the tigers and elephants dance
Thousands of suckers paid up for the chance
time to pay
let them burn
punish and erase me
high time i suffer
count all my addictions
that surprise erection
that dirty obsession
my blood is on your hands
blood is on your hands
turn away from me, turn away
take everything away from me
you can still hear me laughing at you
this soul cannot be chained
can i get a witness
here i am
so what, here i stand
see you when i get there
rok hard dik in my hand
no, i don't expect you to understand shit
in the garden of heathens
we fuck confession
let the motherfucker fall
i watch him fall hard
turn away from me, turn away
cut me in half and play with me
now, both of me are laughing at you
Remember what you've been told
No one cares if you're down
What's supposed to be your life
It's a circus and you are the clown
We live in a circus (We love in a circus)
We love in a circus (We hate in a circus)
Remember what you've been told before you get too old
No more feelings
No more stupid words
Shameless of being yourself now
No more disappointments no more fear
It's your time to shine now
(The show is over the clow is dead)
Forget what you've been told
Forget it all but don't forget yourself
If there's something you should now
You're not a clown and your life is not a show
No more feelings
No more stupid words
Shameless of being yourself now
No more disappointments no more fear
It's your time to shine now
(The show is over the clow is dead)
Let's go
Sick of begging
Sick of trying to please
Sick of the struggle
Sick of your fake id
If I ever feel your scent again
Youre one fist to close
If I ever see your shadow again
Youre going down the hard way
They call me the comedy clown
They feed me waste in the gutter
They call me teh comedy clown
I am waste in the gutter
If I ever see you again
I'll be close to my grave
If I ever lie to you again
I'll be dirt
In the circus, each must play a part;
The clown the jester, mirror the meaning of their art
In the circus you can be fool or may be king;
The sound of laughter is in the wedding of the ring.
But all are found
Seeking the love of the crowd,
And all are reaching out;
behind every door there's a question
and just around the corner
there's a hole in the ground
that someone forgot to fix
but i'm still alive
still alive, still trying to sell my soul
for a ticket to the moon and the stars
once in a while i have a life
but somehow i always seem to mistake it for garbage
and throw it away
i must have messed up a million times or more
i guess nothing is so good
that you can't make it worse
nothing is so great
that you can't mess it up
nothing is so perfect
that you can't turn it down
it's always the same:
when the wind of wealth, love and fortune
is blowing my way
when my piece of reality
is becoming a butterfly
that's when the circus arrives
circus
i always act the clown
circus
always on the way down
circus
i drive myself insane
circus
why do i play this game
when i've turned water into wine
just when i've reached the shore
to the river of a splendid future
that's when the circus arrives
circus
i always act the clown
circus
always on the way down
when life feels great
that's when the circus comes to town
i've taught myself to die without a sound
to live without a reason
to smile without locking
i have no interest in this world
the universe inside my head
is bigger and better and nicer to me
in the streets i dream
you can walk around naked and drunk
all the time
at the end of the day the sun goes up
just because it wants to, and we dance
like water and children above the fire
it's beautiful
not at all like the real world
that claim exist
where living is like walking barefoot
over broken glasses
with a baby dinosaur on each shoulder
where the only purpose in life
is to grow older
that's not it, love is it
love is the tallest flower in your garden
love is a helmet and there's a war out there
burning flesh everywhere
unsecure elements of fear
lethal hunger for peace and tranquillity
question: how come you can't accept
the fat sweaty person on the seat next to you
on the concord to paradise
your world is too small
you are too blind
your brain is too fat, that's why
nothing is so good
that you can't make it worse
nothing is so great
that you can't mess it up
nothing is so perfect
that you can't turn it down
nothing is so good
nothing is
[Verse 1: Left Brain]
Just finished hitting these bitches and now I'm dipping
This barbecue sauce on my fried chicken
Am I tripping? I said that backwards
I rock my hat backwards, I'm on the beat, my swagger's dapper
Don't call me Dan, just cause I break down the weed
And wrap trees with my fam, don't mean I got wrapper hands
But I'd slap a fan quickly and I mean real quickly
Lube her up, do her up, that's what I call a quickie
Fucking faggot fan in the audience wanna diss me
I met his goofy ass back stage and I feed him pissy
His girlfriend was a witness, I said look Missy
Don't say a word and umm... pass the ciggy
Or a stogie cause I got the greens
And I got the rollies and we can get high
And I can treat you like Kobe or Ghosty
Cause I'll fuckin' vanish if you wanna fuckin' panic, I'm the pussy bandit
[Hook:]
We rollin' up the la-la-la, we rollin' up the la-la-la
Is he rollin' up a la-la-la? Nigga we rollin' up a la-la-la
Smokin' up the la-la-la, we gettin' high off the la-la-la
We so fly off the la-la-la, come and buy a la-la-la (Wolf Gang)
[Verse 2: Hodgy]
There's two girls, I'm in the middle and my black kinda ninnle
No it isn't a rental, so we gonna have to be gentle
She's arrested by my gentles like a fucking criminal
Felony after felony, well her priors are telling me
She wearing all spandex, light shirt
I finna go nutty professor in her bloody old dress
Don't scream but hold them signs up, protest the W
NBA bouncing balls covering her breast up
Girl what's up with your friend on the left
I'm a have to go get, get it in on the left
Snip and trim on the left, slim skin on the left
She got a twin on the left, we were hiking up the canyon
I'm pulling out my canon, showing her a main companion
Cause soon eggs scrambling and then a nigga scramming
And you can't hold me back, Space jammin'
Two three's, weak balls, she eat balls, meatballs
[Hook:]
We rollin' up the la-la-la, we rollin' up the la-la-la
Is he rollin' up a la-la-la? Nigga we rollin' up a la-la-la
Smokin' up the la-la-la, we gettin' high off the la-la-la
[ DUNDEE ]
Ridi sono clown giullare a corte ti intrattengo,
Ho lo scopo di far ridere e scacciare il brutto tempo,
Mi maschero la faccia nascondendomi all’interno,
Tanto l’importante è che, tu, almeno sia contento,
Io dentro stò di un male, un male tanto che non sai,
Solo se riderai, riderai, sarò fuori dai guai,
Da tempo sto così, io sto così, così da schifo,
Dentro il cuore troppo vuoto, vuoto peggio del mio frigo,
Nessuno viene mai, nessuno mai viene da me,
Io non ho amici non donne ho solo solitudine,
Se invece c’è qualcuno che mi cerca già lo sò,
Lui ha bisogno di qualcosa e non mi chiede come sto,
La mia vita mia è così, fatta di trucco e nulla di più,
Naso rosso con gli occhi blu, cuore nero cuore che fu,
Lontano fuggo fuggo da me, da solo che poi vado giù,
Lontano fuggo fuggo da me, sto bene solo se ci sei tu.
[ CHORUS ]
Non posso star solo ho bisogno di un mondo a colori,
Non possso star solo ho bisogno di sguardi attenzioni
Di applausi e emozioni di un mondo a colori di suoni e emozioni
[ PASQUI ]
Piacere sono pasqui sono il clown di questo circo,
benvenuto al mio spettacolo in realtà! Non esisto,
ho visto facce divertite sono io il vostro gioccatolo,
ora andate ma lasciatemi un offerta in quel barattolo,
mentre stai sorridendo dentro muoio lentamente,
no non vi assomiglio son diverso dalla gente,
comune, ho una maschera e un costume,
vivo in questo lerciume, (ah) mi vedo appeso ad una fune,
voglio farla finita fino a qui tutto bene,
faccio troppa fatica e meglio un taglio nelle vene,
lei è il primo pensiero al mio risveglio la mattina,
tocco il fondo di un bicchiere, in overdose nicotina,
che vita meschina, io sono nessuno
e nessuno si avvicina, perchè non profumo,
assumo quantità eccessive di una sostanza eccitante,
così fingo e sorrido per il pubblico pagante
[ CHORUS ]
Non posso star solo ho bisogno di un mondo a colori,
Non possso star solo ho bisogno di sguardi attenzioni
Di applausi e emozioni di un mondo a colori di suoni e emozioni
[ PASQUI ]
Dimmi tu perchè mi guardi forse un pò ti faccio pena,
questa sera prendo e volo via con un colpo di scena,
sto pensando ad una fine fine assurda e in grande stile,
così tutti potran dire di aver visto il clow morire,
[ DUNDEE ]
oppure cambio vita e troverò una soluzione,
voglio urlare al mondo interno tutta la mia frustrazione,
ricordati il mio nome tu ricordati il mio nome,
fammi sentire un uomo vivo e non solo un buffone,
[ PASQUI ]
però a pensarci bene la mia vita è un disastro,
non voglio perder tempo pechè merito tutt'altro,
il destino è bugiardo, promette il gran salto,
ma nulla è cambiato ed io vorrei morir d'infarto,
[ DUNDEE ]
oppure cambio vita ma ho bisogno del suo aiuto,
perchè io senza di lei mi sento inutile e confuso,
quindi è inutile reagire, sulla mia vita sputo,
il clown stà per morire, amici vi saluto.
[ CHORUS ]
Non posso star solo ho bisogno di un mondo a colori,
Non possso star solo ho bisogno di sguardi attenzioni
It's a circus
It's a circus in here
And I can't walk through my own life
Without stepping in the things I fear
It's a circus
Are you scared just like me
Everyone around me is talking
I'm just ripping off the leaves of the tree
So, I say
it's a circus
I'm scared of another choice
Everyone around me is talking
Am i the only one that has a choice
Is this truth
Or just some knowledge that I bare
Everyone around me is thinking
So help God, I'm scared
Oh no
Oh my God
Does anyboday get a choice
Oh my God
Tell us the truth
Is this some truth
Some price to pay
Am i about to get the things i waged
If this is a choice
Oh God, it's a choice
Everybody has got a voice of some passionate conscience
religion
Oh God, it's true
If this is the price I'll pay
I'm not afraid of the guns and tanks
To push it away
When I was a little child
I loved it when the circus came to my town
gathered in this great arena
all my fav'rites once a year in my town.
But my fav'rite of them all
are the famous flying demons
hear tham call high above the grat arena
we would hold our breath in case they'ed fall.
gliding thro' the air in all their glory
high
high
so high
weaving silhouettes before your eyes
will they ever live to tell their story
they flew so high on the night the circus came to town.
Now I have a little child
he loves it when the circus comes to town
he is filled with great emotion
see his face
his eyes wide open
my son.
Now the moment has arrived
see him look up to the skies
high above the great arena
looking up to see the demons fly.
akes to satisfy
How did you sneak in
I thought all the doors had been closed
Now that you're here
I don't think I can stand to see you go
And I am only I am only I am only I
And you are only you
We are only we for a little while
With the night as our blanket
And ghosts in the yard
You lean in close and say
"I think we can go far."
Me, I'm always drowning
The water and the whiskey and the wine
And look how we've managed
To make a circus of us this time
And you say "I am only I am only I am only I
And you are only you
And we are only we for a little while"
With the night as our blanket
And ghosts in the yard
You lean in close and say
Naranara nanaranarana nanaradirli da
I was crazy four you sweetness
I always liked your sweet lips
But now you're sickly sweet.
You sent thirty something beanies
You call every five minutes
And always want my kiss
Since you left me I've been learning
Today I will live like you, say:
Waba dilirip dirab didub
Since you left me I've been learning
Today I will live like you, say:
Ah,ah,ah
naranara nanaranarana nanaradirli da
(x2) I am sending you the pellets
My number please forget it
And kiss my ass goodbye.
one more time!
Since you left me I've been learning
Today I will live like you, say:
Waba dilirip dirab didub
Since you left me I've been learning
Today I will live like you, say:
Ah,ah,ah
naranara nanaranarana nanaradirli da
(x3) How could I tell you?
Oh baby please don't cry
Lately I've heard about the things that you have said
And I've wondered quite a bit just what you might have read
Out from the inside where the future's much too bright
I heard you crying, love, but that don't make it right
Hold on
'Cause the end is coming soon, it won't be long
The time has come
And the life you know has got you on the run
Yeah, ow
So if you ever feel the least bit insecure
I'll bring it down to you and set it at your door
'Cause when you're sleeping you'll be sorry that you did
I've got no feelings, but I ain't no hypocrite
Hold on
'Cause the end is coming soon, it won't be long
The time has come
And the life you know has got you on the run
Yeah
Hold on
'Cause the end is coming soon, it won't be long
The time has come
And the life you know has got you on the run
The card in question missing from my hands
A little late, a solitary space
Is all acceptable in no man's land
No mystery, no beauty queen
A generation sadly is buried in the ground
A nation fools us badly
Stop watching the circus
Start watching the clowns
And all of your answers
Will always be found
We sell the headlines for publicity
The killing scene just another thing
The bad guy is taken from society
After the chase he pleads his case
You'll never stop the circle
What goes and comes around
the circus is in town
come on and join the fun
there's jugglers and clowns
and lots of fun for everyone
the circus is in town
come on and join the fun
there's jugglers and clowns
You You, Like it wont
through me, me that wont heal
No nothing hits me like you do
when its all you are
(right)
Try Try, but you wont find
your witness to my crime
No nothing cuts me like you do
when its all your fault
its you, just you and me, oh yeah
its true, its just you, and me unfortunately
Lie Lie, but you wont hide
the true true, no its not like you
No nothing hurts me like you do
when its all you got
its you, just you, and me oh yeah
its true, its just you, and me unfortunately
why u do the things that you do oh what u doing to me
'Cause its like you dont care, no you dont care, so you dont care, about me, whats new?
its just you, its just you
all a circus
Undead but many are run down
Mislead they're staning in line
All set getting close to the showdown
Unsaid the words unspoken
Misread and led by the blind
Wasted many lives are broken
It's time to leave it all behind
I feel ok I feel alright
Dont need this lie
One day the memory's worn out
One night I'll have it all torn out
Tonight thus haunted playground
Aint your circus
One day the remedy's brought down
This time my hands wont be bound
In time this savage playground
Aint your circus
Defect but I'm still standing
Eject the poison in me
Respect in times of new reckoning
I am invincible and sound
I am the air unbound
Leave me to live
Leave me to give it all away
Leave me at the starting point
where I have came alive
as everything I have ever seen
