The rain falls hard and the big top dances, And makes a resounding noise.
And the strongman runs with the bearded lady, in search for the dog faced boys,
and the show goes on, I don't know why, They all come 'round, each July
Haven't you heard, the circus is here, and the man in the ring, is waiting for me.
The human snake makes funny faces, and bends to amuse the crowd
like candy canes and licorice laces, and makes his final bow.
He reaches out to slow me down,, but I won't be fooled, this time 'round
Haven't you heard, the circus is here, and the man in the ring
is trying to hold me down
The man in the ring is dying to hold me down, The man in the ring is waiting for me.
The lights all dim and the candles flicker, all eyes on the birthday boy
With one deep breath and it's over quicker, and over is overjoyed.
And the show goes on, I don't know why, They still come 'round, each July
Haven't you heard, the circus is here, and the man in the ring
is trying to hold me down
The man in the ring is dying to hold me down
The man in the ring he don't want to hear me say
The man in the ring Won't take me away
I commend the forest out of all things I've found
for spilling its secrets up out of holes in the ground
I'd lead them to glory, blow them away
Read them like stories, acts in a play...
and then I'd never be lonely again
