The Circus Ends in Tears Pachrymosa by The Awkward Stage Lyrics

Soft and tranquil eyes have the elephant
He's been tranquillized beneath the circus tent
The public and the prod are unforgiving and links of shackle chain seem to be giving in
For a caravan of years, they've such a memory
The circus ends in tears, but such a memory
And it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears
Into the lions gaping maw, the tamers' head it goes
There's a jungle law, one day that jaw will close
Everybody knows the risk this job can pose
It's the life he chose, it is the show of shows
And the last thing that he hears is the echoes of their cheers
The circus ends in tears, but still echoes of their cheers
And it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears
Balanced on their balls, the dancing bears start mauling
Children of all ages are dragged into the cages
The rigging and the staging destroyed in the rampaging
The circus ends in tears, the circus ends in tears. The circus ends in tears, the circus ends in tears
The circus ends in tears, in tears, in tears
