Under the big top tonight
This is part of a musical about circus freaks I was making, go to the lyrics for the story
Acoustic Folk, Alternitive
Songs whose homes were made of straw
Story behind the song
I was working on a musical about circus freaks for one reason or another. This song is sung by the human torso (no arms or legs) he is laying in a haystack sipping wine out of a bottle with a straw. He is heart broken becase the girl he's had his eye on has been swept of her feet by the boy with progeria.
Lyrics
I have no limbs to call my own
A three ring circus for a home
Quite simply i'm a freakish thing
Confusingly a human being
Sip on red wine in the blue moonlight
Under the big top tonight
No one will dance with me
No one will take my ring
With such a heavy heart
I feel i'm torn apart
One day i'll be on the silver screen
Maybe tha's just the wine talking
Sip on red wine in the blue moonlight
Under the big top tonight
