When the Circus Came to Town
Do you remember the first time your pretty eyes met mine? On that warm summer evening in the middle of July It happened that Friday when the circus came to town You were eating cotton candy on the merry-go-round They told me you had others to whom I could never compare Grown up handsome lovers who would buy you anything and take you anywhere
So I decided that I had to even out the odds I clearly wasn't dealt the very best hand of cards But if all of these bachelors would somehow disappear I was sure you could fall for somebody like me
Young Billy played football he was the captain of the team He was surrounded by girls but he had a crush on you it seemed He failed to come home from a running trip one night They found him run over by the same car twice
But you still had many others to whom I could not compare Grown up handsome lovers who'd buy you anything and take you anywhere
Marcella Lumbardo your teacher in math Was known to give you special attention after class One morning his maid found him screaming at a piece of bread He had been crudely lobotomised with an ice pick to the head
Oswald the painter he was an old perverted bloke I heard he'd done a painting of you where you weren't wearing clothes It was all over the news when they found the dirty swine He had died from drinking a bit too many pints of turpentine Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
But still you had some others to whom I could not compare Grown up handsome lovers who would buy you anything and take you anywhere
Race car driver Roger he was really quite the star I went up to his house one night and I modified his car The next day they found him at the bottom of the lake Why would anyone go driving down those hills without no brakes?
Handsome Eddy the young keen deputy in town It was said that he'd been seen driving you around One day Eddy took a leap from a twelfth floor balcony After eating 6 or 7 doughnuts spiked with LSD
Now there weren't so many others to whom I could not compare All your other lovers had all these random accidents or simply disappeared
Do you remember the last time I held your hands in mine? Standing on your porch with sirens all around I told you that I loved you And you seemed quite surprised But as the cops read my charges the tears ran from your eyes
But I knew that you would never meet another quite like me I was never handsome talented or smart But I think I managed to make you remember me
