lyrics

We even chased the circus away
Two years on still ain’t ok
Kids are blinded by the sun
Bone weary by the things we’ve done
All the road signs are torn down
Just their phones to get around

We even chased the circus away
Center ring buried in the clay
In case they want to make a stand
consider this the promised land
Return when the nighttime falls
Prop up these big-top walls

It’s like sweeping up an old dirt floor
I gotta wonder what we’re down here for
Test the tension of the wire
Bucket brigade for the ring of fire

We even chased the circus away
Left to steal what we cannot pay
leave the lights on all night long
Lay our heads on a favorite song
Life’s a calendar nailed to the wall
With one page that fits all

It’s like sweeping up an old dirt floor
I gotta wonder what we’re down here for
Test the tension of the wire
Bucket brigade for the ring of fire

We even chased the circus away
Two years on still ain’t ok
Kids are blinded by the sun
Bone weary by the things we’ve done
We even chased the circus away
Center ring buried in the clay
In case they want to make a stand
consider this the promised land
