Circus Man

from Throne Of Tin by Stone Dresden

/

lyrics

Oh daddy won’t you listen
To the boy whose too far gone
Images flare they surround me
Live the life of the circus man

Oh I tried to see
What you made for me

It’s not that I’m trying to hurt you
But you’ve got know that I’m my own
The pain doesn’t come from
Home

In my life I’ve been a few things
A pauper, a fool, a dreamer, a king
And my head still in the clouds
I don’t know a thing

Mystery, I am weary
Can you see me in the candle light
Calling to fools of tradition
Can you make me a circus man

Oh I tried to see
What you made for me

Push to shove I’m resisting
Loving one the social wall
Voices call from inside me
Love

In my eyes war has been fought
No hidden prison, no miracle sought
In my head still the fires rage
Leaving me to scream again

In my life I’ve been a few things
Ignorant master, laughable king
And my hear still burns with rage
I will not stay in my cage

No oh
You can’t keep me
I will not stay
No oh
