Daddy Ran Away With The Circus

Artist: Shira Z. Carmel and her Brasserie
Album: One Source of Bad Information
Lyrics:
daddy ran away with the circus
covered up his tracks in a pile of mud
daddy ran away with the circus
left us nothing but sweat and blood
daddy ran away with the circus
went out for a cigarette - didn't even leave a butt
daddy ran away with the circus
now we're waiting for the flood
to come

So, won't it come..
(today)

daddy ran away with the circus
I can still remember what he said, he said:
"everyone must serve their purpose,
And yours is here, you better use your head,
no, girl don't sell your soul to the circus,
I know you have talent but you're better off at home instead"
well daddy I've been practicing, and I am not afraid

so won't you come..
(today)

daddy - how are things in the circus?
I got me a job here- dusk till dawn -
polishing the edge of a surface
makes you understand the world is round
daddy I've been practicing so long,
tonight I'm gonna wear my dress and gown
'cause the circus is coming to town!

so won't you come...
(today)
