When the Circus Comes - Los Lobos

Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck

The time that you came and the day that you left

Could have had a chance

Could have had a chance

Never thought I could make it this far

With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart

Never thought I could

Never thought I could

But when the lights are turning 'round

And wheels are rolling on the ground

That day I’ll burn this whole place down

When the circus comes to town

You left your name carved on a tree

You scratched mine out right in front of me

Didn’t mean that much

Didn’t mean that much

But when the lights are turning 'round

And wheels are rolling on the ground

That day I’ll burn this whole place down

When the circus comes to town

I’ll scratch your name out on that tree

I’ll chase your heart right out of me

Doesn’t mean that much

Doesn’t mean that much

But when the lights are turning 'round

And wheels are rolling on the ground

That day I’ll burn this whole place down

When the circus comes to town
