lyrics

when grace came to the field
and met jimmy on the wheel
it was glamorous she found
he would spin her round and round
and at that her head was turned 
for the secret life she yearned
to run away from home
the country she would roam
when the circus come to town

with all the travelling folk 
whose neck resist the yoke
chasing colored dreams 
no black and white for them it seems
like a human caravan
a catch me if you can
and a burning bush desire 
to court with brimstone hell and fire 
when the circus come to town

all humanity is there
naked ladies heads a bare 
street fighters fight to win
preachers preach and sinners sin
Its a carnival of despair
And a road that leads nowhere
For the boys who run the rides 
which one and who decides
when the circus come to town

she said they'd never part 
but Jimmy broke her heart 
swept her off her feet
left her standing in the street
With all the sadness of the clown
When the circus came to town
not the leaving nor the grieving 
but the hope that she'd be leaving 
when the circus come to  town
