The democratic circus

Found out this morning There's a circus coming to town They drive in Cadillacs Using walkie-talkies, and the Secret Service Their big top Imitation of life And all the flags and microphones We have to cover our eyes We play the sideshows And we like the tunnel of love And when we ride the ferris wheel We're little children again And when they're asking for volunteers We'll be the first ones aboard And when the ringmaster calls our names We'll be the first ones to go ... to sleep Stealing all our dreams Dreams for sale They sell 'em back to you On with the show Start the parade We sand along Sweep us away It's political party time Going down, going down And the celebrities all come out Coming down, coming down, coming... The sun is going down And the dogs are starting to howl We stay out after dark Eating cotton candy And the music's playing... How we all laughed! We split our sides The cameras flashed We almost died! The rain's gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky Coming down, coming down And the celebrities all run out, and the rain's Coming down, coming down Gonna rain, Gonna rain, gonna rain Gonna rain, gonna rain, Rain, rain Rain, rain And now I wonder who's boss And who he's leavin' behind?
