Circus Song lyrics

Cotton candy, two for a quarter
See if the fat man can guess your weight
A big stuffed tiger is what I bought her
And I`m going home `cause it`s late

Roller coasters make me dizzy
And cotton candy makes me sick
I wish I had some Bromo fizzy
Now that would do the trick

Everyone knows that the clowns aren`t happy
And everyone knows that the people don`t care
I wish I could laugh at the way that they`re acting
But I`m so sick, I just don`t dare to

High wire dancers kick and balance
White silk horses step in time
The tattooed man displays his talents
I`m not the talented kind

I always go to the circus on Sunday
And there I can laugh at the people I see
But when I leave home in the morning on Monday
Everybody laughs at me

I make other people nervous
I guess that`s why they laugh at me
But to me my life is a three-ring circus
And I can see it for free

Have you seen my wife Elvira?
She can tame a lion, you know
Well, I once had a bushy mane
But that was so damn long ago

Tight-collared clowns in plastic buildings
Have happy families as their fate
Happy jobs and happy clubs
And happy people they hate

Everyone`s juggling and everyone`s acting
With smiles of grease paint three feet wide
Everyone`s caught on a carousel pony
And one time around is a lifetime ride
