Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Circus Clown

Ice Cream and candy floss, parents with dosh, those were the times I liked best

Dancing the tango with my mon amour, better than all of the rest.

Children they laugh, children they scream, parents with balloons they all beam

Money is flooding into our tills but nothing is quiet what it seems

Street singers sing, pickpockets pick, girls on cheap wine are all sick

Lilly the prostitute parades her wares for you she will do any trick

Jimmy is selling crack at half price he will supply any vice

A fence a forged document he gives advice on anything not very nice

Circus clown, now your down in a sea of wine you have drowned
