Circus - String Driven Thing

I was watching the man on the tightrope

He was doing his best to stay up He was swaying from side to side

And the crowd around him cried

And the nails of the lady beside me Were digging into my skin

And her breathing was becoming excited

As they let the lions in She said

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

With the smell of the beast in my nostrils

And a look of pure fear in my eye

The king of the jungle came forward

And the crowd began to sigh

And the lady who’d been sitting beside me Was lying upon the ground

And the clown who was riding my cycle

Was going around and around

He said

Fall, why don’t you fall for my now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Come on and take me to the circus

I wanna see the lion

I wanna see the tiger

I wanna see the chimpanzee

The chimpanzee wanna see me … all right

Take me to the circus

Come on and take me to the circus

Come on and take me to the circus

Take me to the circus

Take me to the circus

Come on and take me to the circus

Come on and take me to the circus

Take me to the circus

Take me to the circus

Take me to the circus

You know I’m going home to my Marla

And listen to some String Driven Thing

I’ve had enough peaks in the circus

And none of them are in the ring

You know I’m going home to my Marla

And hang on to her apron strings

I’ve had enough of life in the circus

With animals and everything

She said

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Fall, why don’t you fall for me now?

Come on and take me to the circus

Come on and take me to the circus

I wanna see the lion

I wanna see the tiger

I wanna see the chimpanzee… all right

The chimpanzee wants to see me… oh yeah

Take me to the circus (come on down)

Take me to the circus (momma momma momma momma)

Take me to the circus… all right

Take me to the circus
