Lyrics
I went down to the circus
To twist off some time
The barkers yelled suckers come on
I paid up my money
And I waited in line
And the circus was just like home
There was animal cages
And animal tales
Women who turned men to stone
With their beautiful faces
And dangerous nails
And the circus was just like home
And the circus was just like home
With the strong man dancing in the clothes that he borrowed
From the ladies in the chorus line
To the wild man drinking like there's no tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
To the Ringmaster who drank even faster
While he was blessing everybody with wine
We howled at the lion tamers
Running around
Like some desperate Christian in Rome
And we laughed at the antics
Of the heartbroken clown
And the circus was just like home
With the strong man dancing in the clothes that he borrowed
From the ladies in the chorus line
To the wild man drinking like there's no tomorrow
Living on borrowed time
To the Ringmaster who drank even faster
While he was blessing everybody with wine
I went down to the circus
It was cash in advance
The barkers yelled suckers come on
I could feel all the fires
Smell the romance
Watch all the tigers and the elephants dance
Millions of people have taken the chance
And the circus was just like home
And the circus was just like home
And the circus was just like home
