20 Years Circus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
it was a day like any other my
son he turned to me and said father
wherever did we go so wrong i thought
it over for a minute and said son
for twelve years there was a circus sometimes
i want to dream my life away and
other times it all seems wrong still other
days i want to throw my life away
that's when i know i don't belong now
when i'm down some people ask me just
when and where my luck did change i
smile and say the eighties broke my spirit
'cause when the circus came to town i
was in it's way this charade is not
for me just put aside what i think
it means to me just put aside my
eccentricities there's nothing for me in this one
horse town at least until the circus came
around
