Circus Songtext
von String Driven Thing

I was watching the man on the tightrope
He was doing his best to stay up
He was swaying from side to side
And the crowd around him cried
And the nails of the lady beside me
Went digging into my skin
And her breathing was becoming excited
As they let the lions in

And she said
Fall, why don′t you fall for me now?
Fall, why don't you fall for me now?
Fall, why don′t you fall for me now?


With the smell of the beast in my nostrils
And the look of fear in my eye
The king of the jungle came forward
And the crowds began to sigh
And the lady who'd been sitting beside me
Was lying upon the ground
And the clown who was riding the cycle
Was going around and around

And he said
Fall, why don't you fall for me now?
Fall, why don′t you fall for me now?
Fall, why don′t you fall for me now?

Come on and take me to the circus

I wanna see the lion

I wanna see the tiger

I wanna see the chimpanzee
The chimpanzee who wouldn't see me, alright
Take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
Take me to the circus

Take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
Take me to the circus
Take me to the circus
Take me to the circus


You know I′m going home to my mama
And listen to some String River Thing
I've had enough freaks in the circus
And none of them are in the ring
You know I′m going home to my mama
And hang on to her apron strings
I've had enough of life in the circus
With animals and everything

She said
Fall, why don′t you fall for me now?
Fall, why don't you fall for me now?
Fall, why don't you fall for me now?

Come on and take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
I wanna see the lion
I wanna see the tiger
I wanna see the chimpanzee, alright
The chimpanzee who wouldn′t see me, oh yeah
Take me to the circus, come on now
And take me to the circus, mama, mama, mama, mama
Take me to the circus, alright
Take me to the circus, come on, come on
