Circus © Riff Beach - RiffWerx Original - 2020 - Copyright There’s a lonely sadness hiding Behind the eyes of The Clown It can’t be soothed by applause Before the Circus leaves The Town Yet, The Show Must Go On The Entertainers must perform They defy and juggle death As they go on and on….and on Chorus Life is just a Circus And Oh, how it entertains us As we dance and play In moments that take our breath away (All those moments that take our breath away) Sometimes, it’s hard not to feel When everything becomes so real There’s no more hedging bets When they take away the nets Bridge All the noise and confusion The Taming of The Beast As we cling to The Grand Illusion Or, perhaps, become The Feast Finding courage to conquer it all Oh Yeah, Life is but a Circus And even though it will disappear We’ll get by with a Smile and a Tear
