Traveling far through the meadows and woods
Traveling far through the meadows and woods
Hearing cries, echoes, and woos
Hearing cries, echoes, and woos
Laughter and chants going down where the joker's play
Laughter and chants going down where the joker's play
A harrowing blues
A harrowing blues
Nonchalant I remain
Nonchalant I remain
In that old circus train
In that old circus train
The sweet bitter taste, ooh
The sweet bitter taste, ooh
Mean old circus, mean old circus
Mean old circus, mean old circus
Mean old circus, be my twisted road
Mean old circus, be my twisted road
Be the answer, be the answer
Be the answer, be the answer
My solution to the great unknown
My solution to the great unknown
A sweet illusion, lost in confusion
A sweet illusion, lost in confusion
A new connection to my perception
A new connection to my perception
A dancing horse's feathered crown
A dancing horse's feathered crown
Where all the painted suns go down
Where all the painted suns go down
Another curtain, a camel's burden
Another curtain, a camel's burden
A new pretension toward my invention
A new pretension toward my invention
A song that cries for calliopes
A song that cries for calliopes
Comes so naturally
Comes so naturally
It comes so naturally
It comes so naturally
Mean old circus, mean old circus
Mean old circus, mean old circus
Mean old circus, be my twisted road
Mean old circus, be my twisted road
Be the answer, be the answer
Be the answer, be the answer
My solution to the teared up soul
My solution to the teared up soul
A revelation for conversation
A revelation for conversation
A new permission for my religion
A new permission for my religion
A sleeping lion's lion dreams
A sleeping lion's lion dreams
In my forsaken evil schemes
In my forsaken evil schemes
In books and movies, keep talking to me
In books and movies, keep talking to me
A new direction for my correction
A new direction for my correction
We'll dance across a silver thread
Bailaremos sobre un hilo de plata
Put the sky to bed
Pondremos el cielo a dormir
We'll put the sky to bed
Pondremos el cielo a dormir
Oh, we'll put the sky to bed, ooh
Oh, pondremos el cielo a dormir, ooh
