Circus Girl Lyrics - Incredible String Band

Circus girl, how could you love me? 

You're so far above me, you hang by your knees and your toes 

Circus girl, can you even hear me? 

Down in the crowd, your silver skirt hangs back over your breast 

Such beautiful legs and you sparkle and flirt 

I don't mind lipstick all over my shirt 

You fly through the air, you've got princess hair 

I'm really impressed 

Circus girl, you fly higher than the house of lords 

You look serene 

Circus girl, your picture cheers hospital wards 

You met the queen 

The ringmaster's hat is as black as a wellington boot 

He's mean he cracks his whip 

But if he tries to beat you or even mistreat you 

I'll give him some lip
