Blue Magic - Three Ring Circus lyrics

rate me

The whistle blows as he makes his rounds

He's seen every town west of Mississippi

He's just a face painted all in smiles

Jumpin' up and down and makin' people happy

Though deep inside a shadow grows

He could laugh and no one knows

There's a lonely man inside

Life is a three ring circus

All of the ups and downs of a carousel

That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus

Just one little ride on a merry-go-round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

He does the best like the minstrels did

Just to please the kids and keep the people laughing

But no one knows that beneath the clothes

And his turned up nose lives a lonely beggar

He needs the love he spreads around

But in life he's just a clown

Till they bring the curtain down

Life is a three ring circus

All of the ups and downs of a carousel

That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus

Just one little ride on a merry-go-round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

He needs the love that can't be found

But you're just too blind to see

That the clown is really needy

Life is a three ring circus

All of the ups and downs of a carousel

That I know so well

Life is a three ring circus

Just one little ride on a merry-go-round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round

Goin' round and round and round and round and round
