Lyrics
The Circus Came To Town 12/3/2015
Boey, Gulick,Matthiesen, Pickering
(Verse 1)
Another dead end fight, I know you're gonna leave
I wish you knew she meant nothing to me
When you shut me out, she was there for me
Slipped off my ring with the greatest of ease
(Chorus)
Now I'm walking on a high wire, no net to catch my fall
I lit the fuse that sent us crashing like a human cannonball
You were the star of my show, and I was careless as a clown
Our love was strong until The Circus Came to Town
(Verse 2)
All that I can do is watch the boxes go
One by one, pieces of you are leaving home
Nothing left to say, the truth has taken its toll
There's no second act, guess I'll pull the curtains closed
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
A G I'd jump through a dozen rings of fire, throw the strongman to the ground
A G A Become the man you used to know, if you would turn that car around
(Repeat Chorus)
