Twelve Year Circus

It was a day like any other

My son he turned to me and said

Father wherever did we go so wrong

I thought it over for a minute and said

Son for twelve years

There was a circus

Sometimes i want to dream my life away

And other times it all seems wrong

Still other days i want to throw my life away

That's when i know i don't belong

Now when i'm down some people ask me

Just when and where my luck did change

I smile and say the eighties broke my spirit

'cause when the circus came to town

I was in it's way

This charade is not for me

Just put aside what i think it means to me

Just put aside my eccentricities

There's nothing for me in this one horse town

At least until the circus came around
