lyrics

CIRCUS THEME

rosalee, sing to me
sing out like you once sang
to monte in the sea
a word half-spoken
too tangled in the threads
sit back, relax, think back
to the puppet in your head

to err or lie
i often wonder why
another call, cry out
say, what do you know?
the air in may
i don't care what you say
til i find a hiding place
to rest my soul

beware the sad clown
wrestles through the years
divides his waste and shares
a gallon of his tears
the pauper waves his hand
as his feet lift off the ground
another sight to see
when there's no one else around

to err or lie
i often wonder why
another call, cry out
say, what do you know?
the air in may
i don't care what you say
til i find a hiding place
to rest my soul

reverend caufield
drank liquor with his tea
but even holden never saw
shots the size of these
confess your sin, my son
to a bottle of my wine
think about it later
when your soul's as good as mine

to err or lie
i often wonder why
another call, cry out
say, what do you know?
the air in may
i don't care what you say
til i find a hiding place
to rest my soul
