[00:02.72]Wild Billy's Circus Story
[00:23.70]
[00:23.71]The machinist climbs his Ferris wheel like a braid
[00:31.99]And the fire-eater's lyin' in a pool of sweat, victim of the heat wave
[00:40.72]Behind the tent
[00:42.82], the hired hand tightens his legs on the sword swallower's blade
[00:51.71]Circus town's on the shortwave
[01:04.61]
[01:04.62]Well, the runway lies ahead like a great false dawn
[01:12.18]Fat lady, big mama, Missy Bimbo sits in her chair and yawns
[01:21.54]And the man-beast lies in his cage sniffin' popcorn
[01:30.34]And the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn
[01:41.38]Circus town's been born
[01:46.36]
[01:46.37]And a press roll drummer go
[01:49.88]Ballerina to-and-fro, cartwheelin' up on that tightrope
[01:58.04]With a cannon blast, lightnin' flash
[02:00.02]Movin' fast through the tent, Mars-bent
[02:03.60]He's gonna miss his fall, oh, God save the human cannonball
[02:12.02]And the flyin' Zambinis watch Margarita do her neck twist
[02:20.50]And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along:95, 96, 97
[02:31.60]
[02:31.61]A ragged suitcase in his hand
[02:33.63]He steals silently away from the circus grounds
[02:39.22]And the highway's haunted by the carnival sounds
[02:44.41]They dance like a great greasepaint ghost on the wind
[02:52.57]A man in baggy pants, a lonely face, a crazy grin
[03:03.18]Runnin' home to some small Ohio town
[03:09.74]Jesus, send some good women to save all your clowns
[03:19.08]
[03:19.09]And Circus Boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire
[03:27.03]And the barker romances with a junkie, she's got a flat tire
[03:34.57]And now the elephants dance real funky
[03:39.03]And the band plays like a jungle fire
[03:45.87]Circus town's on the live wire
[03:51.66]
[03:51.67]And the strong man Samson
[03:53.53]Lifts the midget, little Tiny Tim, up on his shoulders, way up
[03:59.29]And carries him on down the midway
[04:03.34]Past the kids, past the sailors, to his dimly lit trailer
[04:11.60]And the Ferris wheel turns and turns like it ain't ever gonna stop
[04:20.51]And the circus boss leans over and whispers into the little boy's ear
[04:26.44]"Hey, son, you want to try the big top “
[04:32.94]All aboard, Nebraska's our next stop"
