Life Is a Circus Clareville Grove Demo by David Bowie Lyrics

[Chorus: Together]
Life is a circus
It's not a fair
Life is a hard road
When you're not there
At the fair

[Verse 1: John Hutchinson & David Bowie]
Friends come to see me (With what way shall I go?)
To see the show (To help my friend, I'll go)
Crowd moving in line (And let them [?] me time)
(To laugh and drag my name on the ground)
The circus must go (Nothing ever stood so badly)
To the fair (And, whichever shall I go)

[Verse 2: David Bowie]
Papa, he talks to me
Don't dry your eyes, hmm
Gets deep inside you
Does you real harm
Don't you care?
[Verse 3: John Hutchinson & David Bowie]
High tightrope-walking (With what way shall I go?)
Stand straight and tall (To help my friend unfold)
Don't lose your balance (And let them stride below)
(To laugh and drag my name on the ground)
Long wait home (Nothing ever stood so badly)
Crowds don't care (And whichever shall I go)

[Chorus: Together]
Life is a circus
It's not a fair
Life is a hard road
When you're not there
At the fair (What way shall I go)
