Circus -

believe me when i say

the girl was my ball and chain

dragging me down under the surface til i drowned.

but these wings are meant to fly…

but i’m soaking wet.

believe me when i say

the girl was a cabaret, but not the good kind —

the kind that happened at 1am in the west village.

but these wings are meant to fly…

but i’m stuck here tonight.

she’s a goddamn circus and i can hardly find the words to describe her!

she’s a goddamn circus and i’m addicted to her love,

one drag is not enough

believe me when i say

the girl was the worse thing to happen to me

or i’m prone to hyperbole.

and these wings are meant to fly,

but either way i’m grounded and it’s not working out.

believe me when i say

i’ll be on the next train or plane out of the city!

i look «too much like tyson ritter» to feel pretty.

but these wings are made to fly…

but i’m.

out of here, goodbye!

(bye! goodbye? so long. goodbye! peace)

she’s a goddamn circus and i can hardly find the words to describe her!

she’s a goddamn circus and i’m addicted to her love,

one drag is not enough

and i really shouldn’t leave

my heart out on my sleeve like this

so put your hands up where i can see them

save your breath, you’re not under arrest yet

this whole place is a trap

hands up where i can see them

you’re not under arrest

this whole place is a trap

she’s a goddamn circus and i can hardly!!!

she’s a goddamn circus and i’m addicted to her love

and i really shouldn’t leave

this all on your machine like this
