Circus Lyrics - Singles - Russell Crowe & 30 Odd Foot Of Grunts

(Smotherman / Walker) 

I went to the circus 

To waste some time 

The barker was yelling what's on 

So I laid 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 drinkng 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 

From a girl in the chorus line 

And the gypsy was drinking like there's no tomorrow with the 

Ringmaster who was drinkng 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
