The Circus Man


Here I come and here I go,
I promise you
a hell of a show,
I'll be a joker,
be an acrobat,
and make you wonder
what the hell is that,
I'll eat stones
and spit out fire,
and will peform
as long as you desire,
Well, life's a circus,
and we all a clown,
walking around in that funny gown,
pretending to be someone
that we are not
nevertheless giving our best shot,
making others happy,
but never happy are we,
and always thinking,
is this the way it ought to be.
