Twelve Year Circus Lyrics
my son he turned to me and said
father wherever did we go so wrong
i thought it over for a minute and said
son for twelve years
there was a circus
sometimes i want to dream my life away
and other times it all seems wrong
still other days i want to throw my life away
that's when i know i don't belong
now when i'm down some people ask me
just when and where my luck did change
i smile and say the eighties broke my spirit
'cause when the circus came to town
i was in it's way
this charade is not for me
just put aside what i think it means to me
just put aside my eccentricities
there's nothing for me in this one horse town
at least until the circus came around
Good Riddance Twelve Year Circus
