Found out this morning
|
There's a circus coming to town
|
They drive in Cadillacs
|
Using walkie-talkies, and the Secret Service
|
|
Their big top
|
Imitation of life
|
And all the flags and microphones
|
We have to cover our eyes
|
|
We play the sideshows
|
And we like the tunnel of love
|
And when we ride the ferris wheel
|
We're little children again
|
|
And when they're asking for volunteers
|
We'll be the first ones aboard
|
And when the ringmaster calls our names
|
We'll be the first ones to go... to sleep
|
|
Stealing all our dreams
|
Dreams for sale
|
They sell 'em back to you
|
|
On with the show
|
Start the parade
|
We sand along
|
Sweep us away
|
|
It's political party time
|
Going down, going down
|
And the celebrities all come out
|
Coming down, coming down, coming...
|
|
The sun is going down
|
And the dogs are starting to howl
|
We stay out after dark
|
Eating cotton candy
|
And the music's playing...
|
|
How we all laughed!
|
We split our sides
|
The cameras flashed
|
We almost died!
|
|
The rain's gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky
|
Coming down, coming down
|
And the celebrities all run out, and the rain's
|
Coming down, coming down
|
|
Gonna rain,
|
Gonna rain, gonna rain
|
Gonna rain, gonna rain,
|
Rain, rain
|
Rain, rain
|
|
And now I wonder who's boss
|
And who he's leavin' behind?
