30 Odd Foot Of Grunts Circus Lyrics

Circus Lyrics

Circus
(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
And the circus was just like home30 Odd Foot of Grunts
