circus - Ziggy Alberts

You shouldn’t put a lion in a cage

On a cart, on a train to go travel so far

And everyone knows better, yet it’s something we pay to see

He’s strong and wild

In all the ways that you’d like to be

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

Mmhmm

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that, «It's what I know best how to do»

Mmhmm

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that, «It is if it leads me to you'

You shouldn’t put an elephant in chains for so long

He remembers everything, but not where he went wrong

And everyone knows better, yet it’s something that we still do

He’s kind, despite the places

That you’re paying to bring him to

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

Mmhmm

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that, «It's what I know best how to do

Mmhmm

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that» It is if it leads me to you"

Then you came

You didn’t need glass slippers for your feet

Just something for after the showers

To keep 'em clean, and you’re like me

You didn’t like lions or elephants for admission fees

We didn’t talk about it, but the day would come we would set them

Then you came

Sat on my lap, held a blade against my throat

You could cut me, I didn’t mind to bleed at all

And you’re like me

You didn’t like the lions or elephants for admission fees

We didn’t talk about it, but the day would come we would set them free

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

Mmhmm

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that," It’s what I know best how to do"

Mmhmm

And everybody loves a circus

But, nobody knows it as well as I do

You ask me if it’s worth it

I’ll say that, «It is if it leads me to you»

Mmhmm

Mmhmm
