Big Top Love

The circus just left town today and I think we should've gone We'd be brave and full of fear, our mamas would burst into tears I woke up late and missed our ride to the twinkle in your eyes It's a shame we didn't know, the fame, the bright lights of the show You could've been a wondrous star, yeah, an aerial delight A pleasant smile on a made up face, a portrait of amazing Grace The crowd would ooooh and aaaah and stare and quiet for your display And you would be so high that you could meet God in the sky Every night you'd drown inside your big top love You would have the fortune that you desire I'd be over in the corner with my Ouija board A paralytic grin, caught in my psychic tailspin The pulp of my eyes screams behind my slight simp sweetheart smile That's where I belong trying to cry you my song The crowd would whimper, gasp and flinch and scream at my first sight And I would seem so odd that I don't deserve to meet their God Every night I'd drown inside my big top love I would have the fortune that I desire We could still be miles away in our traveling spectacle I could never hide my own terrible pride Then again I bet we'd find the drama of ourselves I'd appreciate your art as I wrung out your sweet heart We could dance and sing and make love and find new ways to give And we would be so free that their God would let us be Every night we'd drown inside our big top love We would have the fortune that I desire The circus just left town today and I think we should've gone
