The Incredible String Band - Circus Girl lyrics
[The Incredible String Band - Circus Girl lyrics]
You're so far above me
You hang by your knees and your toes
Circus girl, can you even hear me?
Down in the crowd, I'm cheering loudest
How could you even see me down in the crowd?
Your silver skirt hangs back over your breast
Got beautiful legs and you sparkle and flirt
And I don't mind lipstick all over my shirt
You fly through the air
You've got princess hair
I'm really impressed
Circus girl
You fly higher than the House of Lords
And you look serene circus girl
Your picture cheers hospital wards
And you met the queen
The ringmaster's hat is as black
As a Wellington boot
He's mean, he cracks his whip
But if he tries to beat you
Or dares to mistreat you
I'll give him some lip
Circus girl
You ride wild horses running real quick
You smoke long cigars and you don't get sick
You dance on tightropes, sleep on knives
If I married you, would I want other wives?
