The lions roar and young men soar The flames all scorch the circus floor Puppets on string all dance and sing and flap their wings Trumpets play sick lullabies Delicate dame her fragile face Was scared away without a trace Out in the cold, where did she go? Into unknown a place I'll never Know and the desperate search began All across this sea and land I just knew I'd find you here I just knew I'd find you Elephants rear and young men steer The audience just claps and cheers I asked around half empty towns About a girl nowhere to be found And the desperate search began All across this sea and land I just knew I'd find you here I just knew I'd find you We didn't know, we could not go The circus songs just carried on Out of the crowd three men rush out And scream and shout, "Everybody Stop!"
