lyrics

Hey you
You with your beautiful legs
And you with your standard size
You are truly half-normal

And you
Have an air philosophical
While all of the air you breathe
Can only be called rural

Well you
Live so far from where you should do
And you
Have a father who left his home and abandoned you

And you
You belong in the circus
At home with the acrobats
In love with the lion tamers
Cause you are the zorse

When you
You look around yourself
Do you not see no-one else
Who is at all like you?

When you
Run around in your open field
Do you come up to the steel
And wonder why this affects you?

Well you
Live so far from where you should do
And you
Have a father who left his home and abandoned you

And you
You belong in the circus
Railing at the ringmaster
And friends with the fire eaters
And you
You belong in the library
Learning of all the things you don’t see when you live in a field

Well you
Live so far from where you should do
And you
Have a father who left his home and abandoned you
And you
Have a faraway temperament
You should be out on the veld
Looking for lion tamers

And you
You deserve to be loved dearly
Not for just what you are
No but for who you are
Will you never be free?
You belong in the circus (You belong in the circus)
You belong in the circus (You belong in the circus)
You belong in the circus (You belong in the circus)
Will you never get home?

(Philip Buckley)
