gretchen peters - circus girl lyrics
i work the high wire in the center ring
defyin’ gravity, that’s my thing
guess i never wanted no regular life
i couldn’t stand to be n-body’s wife
some people tell me that i’m livin’ their dream
but things in the circus ain’t what they seem
believe me, darlin’, it’s a lonely world
it ain’t easy for a circus girl
n-body knows you when you come to town
you’re somebody’s hero or you’re somebody’s clown
and you hope like h-ll that it’ll be enough
’cause you’re n-body’s baby when the sun comes up
you can dazzle ’em with beauty
make ’em laugh until they cry
you can give ’em the thrill of a lifetime
but they always say goodbye
it’s just that sometimes i get so tired
of goin’ nowhere on that little wire
i’d like to plant my feet on solid ground
but god have mercy, it’s a long way down
so i climb that ladder right on up to the sky
i don’t look down and i don’t ask why
and just for a moment i’m on top of the world
just for a moment i’m a circus girl
