Circus Boy 03:32
And the cool dancing girls Break your heart every time As the picolo toots And the black organ grinds And the cool dancing girls Break your heart every time Your purple top hat Silver belt buckle sash Here's spit in your eye And pockets of ash And the cool dancing girls Break your heart every time Break your heart every time Trampoline and trapeze All the tricks of the trade And the follow spot finds you there Circus Boy Blue Down on your knees And the cool dancing girls Break your heart every time Break your heart every time

Did you break for time And baby did you think about Burning it down Did you make some time And maybe did you think you're on the ground So much fire I can see it in your eyes So much fire And it's coming like a big surprise Doo doo.. Did you make some time And maybe did you think you're on the ground Did you break for time I see you sitting down on the ground So much fire I can see it in your eyes So much fire And it's coming like a big surprise Doo doo.. Baby, do you think you might try now And baby, do you think you're going to try Now, baby do you think you're going to try You think might try You think you're going to try Baby...

Jaqueline 04:58
I heard you outside my window Breathing hard up that hill Think you been running You're just standing still You said you'd be moving There ain't nowhere to go All you'd be losing No one else has to know There's just one thing I don't understand Why this keeps happening It's not what I planned You think you want to Take my hand I've got to tell you Just what I am I'll be damned My Jaqueline I heard it a long time ago in the past Knowing what I know now is That nothing will last My flag is flying Down here at half mast I might of stayed I guess but You never asked And there's just one thing I don't understand Why this is happening Not what I planned You think you want to Take my hand I've got to tell you Just what I am I'll be damned My Jaqueline There's just one thing That I don't understand Why this is happening Not what I planned You think you want to Take my hand I've got to tell you Just what I am Just what I am I'll be damned My Jaqueline

I better blacken down my boots Bring them to a fatal shine All for the benefit of your reflection At the moment I make you mine Broken, you'll fling those ornamentals Guilded, bejeweled, and pointing a line In the direction I'm wanting to follow Down the highway of your spine I'm gonna break your heart I don't have to try to I'm gonna tear you apart I'm gonna break your heart Into pieces I'm going to show you a world of pain Making you smile in spite of the tears Making you come inside of the hole in your heart Making you realize the worst of your fears I'm gonna break your heart I don't have to try to I'm gonna tear you apart I'm gonna break your heart Into pieces Into pieces Baby, wait Baby, wait Contemplate on the tide while it turns Baby, wait Baby, wait On the sun while it burns

This hear is a song For a few old friends of mine Sex, and death An ancient god and a good red wine And when I meet them at the bar As I do from time to time Some times I don't get very far Some times I don't make it out in time It was so good That it tore me It was so good Of you to pour me I'm all torn up Had myself a loose gal Up underneath that trailer It'll be lovelorn Yet we got no tears to shed You kept it Raining All the water down my window Like your painting was draining on my bed It was so good That it tore me It was so good I'm all torn up It was so good Of you to pore me another Gonna need a lot of Just another shot of Just another shot of Stupid In a cup Go ahead Fill it up Gonna need a lot of Just another shot of Gonna need a lot of Stupid

Fly up through Southern Highway With your face out in the wind And look up to the blue sky It feels like Summer's in the air But I think I'm gonna be nowhere So I slip back into my seat again The road moves up and it goes down Till it spins our heads all around Till we don't know which way to turn Which way to turn It's going down this way again It's going to rain but The sun comes up again It's going to rain but The sun comes up again Spring is changing over past And winter coming on real fast Trying to take it slow Before it gets away So down we dip into the valleys Leaving us in broken alleys Somehow I can still smell a teenage spring Sit back, enjoy the ride This ain't gonna last a long time Close your eyes lose your mind again Lose your mind again It's going down this way again And It's going to rain but The sun comes up again It's going to rain but The sun comes up again It's going to rain but The sun comes up again Highway is running on Don't know which way You have gone Highway is running on Don't know which way You can run Don't know which way You have gone
