When I arrived at the carnival they were taking down the tents
Circus came to town but it seems nobody went
The ringmaster was crying the clowns all hung their heads
Even the lions lay weeping in their beds

I'd fill their cups with dreams if I had any to spare
If you don't know where you're going maybe I can get you there
The better you know love the better you know pain
So let's just keep on dancing before it starts to rain

Dig in the dirt where we bury our sins
the day we're born is when our troubles begin
Dig in the dirt where we bury our sins
sleep down below where the light can't get in

Out on the streets I saw a rich man begging for a dime
with a gold and silver cup and a half full jug of wine
I gave him all my money I gave him all my clothes
and waited for the black dove to fly home

The elephants are laughing because it's all so damn absurd
The clowns all ate their tongues now they can't say a word
Matilda she is dancing on the head of a pin
and we're all hanging on by the hair of our chins

chorus

solo


Dig in the dirt where we bury our sins
the day we're born is when our troubles begin
Dig in the dirt where we bury our sins
sleep down below where the light can't get in

Dig in the dirt where we bury our sins
the day we're born is when our troubles begin
Dig our own graves with a shit eating grin
sleep down below where the light can't get in
