lyrics

The circus is mine.
Passed down the family tree.
My father he died and willed it to my brother.

But then he died too,
not because of me.
I'm an innocent fool as anyone can guess.

(chorus)
Because I have dreams of grandeur and geese.
Cause I have dreams. The Ringmaster I'll be.

The circus is mine.
I won it playing cards.
The dwarf drank the wine. My brother he collapsed.

And he stopped breathing,
not because of me.
I gave a palm reading, he gave me the tuxedo.

(chorus)

The circus is mine.
You can't take it from me.
Because they all died in graves six feet under.

Sometimes I miss them.
Like a poison snake bite.
They were greedy seedy men who stole my spot cleaner.

(chorus)
