Lyrics

Say Goodbye to the Clowns and Their Pitiful frowns

The freak show is over

The tents have come down

A lowly ringleader surveys the lot

Life in a circus is all that he's got

Look at Jacko the giant

He lifts his own weight

You'd be surprised if you knew what he ate

Tasha the tattooed Lady would dance

And the whole show would grind to a halt

CHORUS

All our life Is on hold

as we follow our dreams down the road

Belly up

In a pool of no regrets


Gino the animal trainer would crack his whip

an the ladies would fall in his lap

Taurus the tarot reader would draw the death card most every day

Monkey the juggler came last to the troupe

In perpetual motion he never came through

I missed him the most when he skated away

But he didn't so much as wave

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Selling the Snake Oil

To pay the rent

There's a believer

In every tent


Selling the snake oil

To pay the rent

They only stay till the money's been spent


The caravan settles in tomorrow's town

We call for a crowd and they gather a round

Everyone says it's the best show on earth

We just take it for what it is worth

CHORUS
