circus

You shouldn't put a lion in a cage On a cart, on a train to go travel so far And everyone knows better, yet it's something we pay to see He's strong and wild In all the ways that you'd like to be And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do Mmm You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that, "it's what I know best how to do" Mmm And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that it is if it leads me to you You shouldn't put an elephant in chains for so long He remembers everything, but not where he went wrong And everyone knows better, yet it's something that we still do He's kind, despite the places That you're paying to bring him to And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do Mmm You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that it's what I know best how to do Mmm And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that it is if it leads me to you And then you came You didn't need glass slippers for your feet Just something for after the showers To keep 'em clean, and you're like me You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees We didn't talk about it But the day would come we would set them Then you came Sat on my lap, held a blade against my throat You could cut me, I didn't mind to bleed at all And you're like me You didn't like the lions or elephants for admission fees We didn't talk about it But the day would come we would set them free And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do Mmm You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that it's what I know best how to do Mmm And everybody loves a circus But nobody knows it as well as I do You ask me if it's worth it I'll say that it is if it leads me to you Mmm Mmm --- circus - Ziggy Alberts
