So Long to the Circus

Sometimes I miss the circus

But I know why I ran away

I stepped right out of that song while it played

I lit it like a stage and I gave it like a gift

What I got out of it is this



Be suspicious but friendly to your elders

Be friendly but suspicious to other circuses

Trust your friends even if you can't trust your friends

You've already agreed to travel with them



So long to the circus, so long to it all

I've always had a good sense of when it's time to get

I've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone

When the police are about to arrive

When security steps in

Wave goodbye to the circus

Wave goodbye to the circus

Sometimes I miss the circus and the friends I made

I never would have left had you stayed

You left us like a stage that you'd outgrown

Leaving me stunned and all alone Leaving me stunned and all alone



So long to the circus, so long to it all

I've always had a good sense of when it's time to get

I've always had a good sense of when it's time to get gone

When the police are about to arrive

When security steps in

Wave goodbye to the circus

Wave goodbye to the circus, don't cry

It was just another circus, it was just your first time

It was just another circus, it was just your first time

You didn't know what you were doing

You couldn't know what you missed Didn't know what you were doing

What did you get out of this?



That Love is real, unstoppable

Actually a wild animal

Self-interested, amoral and cruel

And you got between it and food



So long to the circus, so long to it all



You should have a good sense of when it's time to get gone

When the police are about to arrive

When security steps in

Wave goodbye to the circus



It's time to get gone
