The Maple Street Waltz Lyrics - Singles - Flying Circus

There's a small stream down main street 

Down Maple Street where we used to live 

Don't speak ... whisper it 

The walls have ears in towns like this 

The sunset's reflecting off every window 

Of every car that ever was supposed to take us out of here 

And I've known you since the day you were born 

Lift your chin up, the circus is coming to town 

And the corner stores are closing down 

And the unions will push us and push us 

'Till everything's gone 

Your last pair of roller skates 

Got thrown away ten years ago 

And the garbage dump is bigger than anything here now 

Dad says if things go to worse we'll be moving again 

If we lose as much as last time there'll be nothing left 

Lift your chin up, the circus is coming to town 

And the corner stores are closing down 

And the unions will push us and push us 

'Till everything's gone 

Get the playing cards, but I wanna play a little myself 

I turn the TV on, but there's nothing on as usual 

Shut the windows, there's a storm coming up again 

And don't go out tonight my love don't you go anywhere
