Crazy Circus (just a wrap)

We're runnin' like chickens with our heads cut off,                      
Squealing like piggies round the old food trough,
Stuck on a treadmill and we can't get off,
It's a crazy circus

Lost and confused, walkin in a trance,
Common sense needs a second chance,
But time is runnin out gotta change our stance,            
Such a crazy circus

Just lookin' for respect we think we know
But the real truth is you reap what you sow

Under the bigtop we're up on the stage
Spillin' and killin' lost in a rage
Why can't we just turn the page
Of this crazy circus

Strutin' our stuff actin' real cool
Posin' in the mirror ready for a duel
Now who do you think is the real fool
What a crazy circus

The old ringmaster we're the main attraction
Always lookin' for some kind of action
Spinnin' our wheels losin' our traction
In this crazy circus

Just lookin' for respect we act like we know
But the real truth is you reap what you sow

Crazy Circus (just a wrap)

We’re runnin’ like chickens with our heads cut off,
Squealing like piggies round the old food trough,
Stuck on a treadmill and we can’t get off,
It’s a crazy circus

Lost and confused, walkin in a trance,
Common sense needs a second chance,
But time is runnin out gotta change our stance,
Such a crazy circus

Just lookin’ for respect we think we know
But the real truth is you reap what you sow

Under the bigtop we’re up on the stage
Spillin’ and killin’ lost in a rage
Why can’t we just turn the page
Of this crazy circus

Strutin’ our stuff actin’ real cool
Posin’ in the mirror ready for a duel
Now who do you think is the real fool
What a crazy circus

The old ringmaster we’re the main attraction
Always lookin’ for some kind of action
Spinnin’ our wheels losin’ our traction
In this crazy circus

Just lookin’ for respect we act like we know
But the real truth is you reap what you sow

just a wrap - at least my attempt

Life is a circus,
And the bigtop is nowhere
To be found.
Life’s kinda funny if you think about it

You look at me and all you see
Is the simplest of clowns
In all I do acting out the fool
Whenever you're around

Not just the nose that's red of course
As I embarrass myself too much
Trying to impress with what little I have
This fool for you in love

With the atmosphere of a Circus here
I pull out all the stops
If you can imagine me in Center  ring
Giving it everything I've got

A clown that hopes you like bad jokes
And can't get enough
You can take that thought all the way to the BigTop
With this fool for you in love

Juggling with all my might, this crazy life
To bring you close to me
The Greatest Show on Earth for what it's worth
That you have ever seen

With painted smile wide as a mile
This clown making his run
All a part of me, you can clearly see
I'm a fool for you in love
