Circus

Tightrope, I just hope that I stay upright

Because last night

I burned the safety net down

Swallow, we all know the sword’s a dull blade

What does that change?

Disbelief has no place on the ground

So I left in the last town

I just believe everything you say now

Follow my hollow leg

We drank all night

This cheap red wine

Tastes just like the stuff from France

Lean on me, I’m sorry

If I smell like smoke

But this ain’t no joke

Let’s out while we still have a chance

Then she slipped into a trance

Just to avoid giving me an answer to the question that I asked

Ava said the old world is behind you

Keep your head down and they won’t find you

Been about a year since I’ve been stateside

Tell me about your fears, she said I think I’ll change my

Name, and now I’m on a mission for a new purpose

Now she is an acrobat in the circus

Steady as she goes, she walks across the wire

Shoot me out a cannon through a ring of fire

The circus leaving town

Is coming back around

So don’t say goodbye

Because you and I, we still got time

You and I, we still got time

You and I, we still got time

You and I, we still got time
