Candy stripes and coloured wagons
Lights against the sky
Red and yellow dancing in your eyes
I let my heart fly
Above the high wire
But we came spinning down
Do you remember when the circus came to town?

Cavalcades and fun parades
Are only passing through
Their painted wheels roll on to somewhere new
And I don’t want to
But I still love you
And I can’t turn it round
'cause I still remember when the circus came to town
