lirik lagu circus – jack cookson (folk)
axons, neurons and morons setting fire to my brain
tripping up the curbs of the information age
teasing beasts we cannot tame
so i’m gonna run away and join the circus
where even the fun and games cone to an end
where the big tops topple down and the dancing bears weep, clowns take their medicine before they go to sleep
and all my life i’ve been hearing folks play the card:
‘if there is a god, why does he let things
carry on the way they are?’
now i’m not trying to excuse him
but if he was here to today
i’m sure she could ask us the same thing
but who am i to talk from my western cocoon?
‘suppose i could send some money to
syria soon to alleviate my conscience;
to bathe my guilty skin
while trying to deny the ‘i’ in altruism
does that have a ring to it?
a ring to it?
a ring to it?
a ring to it?
it’s been sobering to realise that
without this nanny state i despise
i wouldn’t be as tall as i am today
without immorality on toast and this ugly
caucasian coast, fingers, thumbs and a tongue
i wouldn’t be able to explain
that strangely enough i think i wrote this song for you
your brown eyes and your brown hair and all the rest of you
i tend not to write love songs anymore
but it’s your name that i’ve been singing for
because it has a ring to it
has a ring to it
a ring to it
a ring to it
so will you run away with me and join the circus?
or something wanderl-st-y like that
where the big tops topple down
and the dancing bears weep
clowns take their medicine before they go to sleep
