Lyrics Jonatha Brooke

Jonatha Brooke

Back In The Circus

I'm back in the circus

Back in the small town, big top

Backed up against the wall

And nothing's quite what I thought

I've got holes in my fishnets

Holes in my last alibi

And I can't remember

When it was that I last saw blue sky

And every town's the same

Only the names and faces change

On this rollercoaster ride, up and down

But I never get to the other side

Back in the circus

But at least I know the routine

Got back to back matinees,

Me and the drag-queens

We are queens of the funhouse

Kings of the real house of games

Yeah princes of darkness

And we're all on first name bases

And every man's the same

Only the times and places change

On this rollercoaster ride, up and down

But I never get to the other side

And all the pretty horses

And all the pretty men

Well they could not put this pretty heart

Back together again, O no

And every town's the same

Only the names and faces change

On this rollercoaster ride, up and down

But I never get to the other side

Every man's the same

Only the times and places change

On this rollercoaster ride, up and down

But I never get to the other side.
