Circus

Big top sky of blue
Stars were happy too
Front row paradise
And we're worth the price
Put on the greatest show on Earth

Circus, life was a circus, a hectic thing
The moon was a toy balloon we held on a string
Gay banners unfurled, lovely confusion
We were in another world, the world of illusion

And as in a circus
Daring young love on a high trapeze
We certainly flew through the air
With the greatest of ease
We painted the town, did it up brown
I was a clown, you were the laughter
Echoing after
Yesterday the circus left town

Slowly you wake believing
This wasn't make believing
No, no, no
As you unmask yourself
You only can ask yourself
Where did it go?
Where did it go?

And as in a circus
Daring young love on a high trapeze
We certainly flew through the air
With the greatest of ease
We painted the town, did it up brown
I was a clown, you were the laughter
Echoing after
Yesterday the circus left town
