about

My life's had a kind of a circus feel about it so it was easy to write.

lyrics

Verse
Born in a circus tent
mother held me to her breast
tried to keep me warm
fighting for a chance
to survive circumstance
never letting go

Chorus
Oh deep inside the bones
Oh circus is the only life I know

Verse
Eighteen seen the world
no keeps a circus girl distracted for long
tyre tracks and broken hearts
nothing but an empty park
when the tent is gone

Chorus
Oh deep inside the bones
Oh circus is the only life I know

Verse
Ticket stand at fifty five
don’t complain done my time
on swings and tightropes
have a daughter and a son
work the big top neither one
I can tell has high hopes

Chorus
Oh deep inside the bones
Oh circus is the only life I know
