CIRCUS LIFE
Music by Ada Bird Wolfe & Jamieson Trotter
Lyrics by Ada Bird Wolfe
We are living in a circus eating popcorn of despair
I used to love it at the circus but I wish that we weren't here
The ringmaster is a clown with a whip that cuts to bone
As pink elephants parade, you can hear caged children moan.
We are living in a circus, this is already a fall
Private army at the ready, the Pied Piper pipes his call
I used to think a fear of clowns was a very foolish thing
Now we're living in a circus and the vicious clown is king.
We are living in a circus but I think I see a door
Though the path is long and fearsome, we are solid at the core
And they say the universe has an arc that bends towards dawn
Yes, the circus is a nightmare, when we wake will it be gone?
