歌曲歌詞
The machinist climbs his Ferris wheel like a braid
And the fire-eater's lyin' in a pool of sweat victim of the heat wave
Behind the tent the hired hand tightens his legs on the sword swallower's blade
Circus town's on the shortwave
Well the runway lies ahead like a great false dawn
Fat lady big mama Missy Bimbo sits in her chair and yawns
And the man-beast lies in his cage sniffin' popcorn
And the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn
Circus town's been born
And a press roll drummer go ballerina to-and-fro cartwheelin' up on that tightrope
With a cannon blast lightnin' flash movin' fast through the tent Mars-bent
He's gonna miss his fall oh God save the human cannonball
And the flyin' Zambinis watch Margarita do her neck twist
And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along: 95 96 97
A ragged suitcase in his hand he steals silently away from the circus grounds
And the highway's haunted by the carnival sounds
They dance like a great greasepaint ghost on the wind
A man in baggy pants a lonely face a crazy grin
Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
