I went to the circus
To waste some time
The barker was yelling what's on
So I paid up my money
And I waited in line
The circus was just like home
The crowd had gathered
So I walked on by
To backstage places unknown
I could tell by the fire
And the moon and the sky
The circus was just like home

There were animal cages
And animal tails
Woman who move like a poem
With their vampire faces
And beautiful nails
The circus felt just like home

The strong man was dancing
In the clothes that he borrowed
From a girl in the chorus line

And the gypsy was drinking
Like there's no tomorrow
With the ringmaster who
Was drinking faster
Blessing everybody with wine

Behind at the lion tamer running around
Looking like a Christian in Rome
They were loading the cannon
With the Portuguese clown
And the circus was just like home

The strong man was dancing
In the clothes that he borrowed
Form a girl in the chorus line
And the gypsy was drinking
Like there's no tomorrow
With the ringmaster who
Was drinking faster
Blessing everybody with wine

I went to the circus
It was cash in advance
The barker was yelling what's on
He said come to the circus
You can smell the romance

See all the tigers and elephants dance
Thousands of suckers
Paid up for the chance
And the circus was just like home
