When the Circus Came to Town
Do you remember the first time your pretty eyes met mine?
On that warm summer evening in the middle of July
It happened that Friday when the circus came to town
You were eating cotton candy on the merry-go-round
They told me you had others to whom I could never compare
Grown up handsome lovers who would buy you anything and take you anywhere
So I decided that I had to even out the odds
I clearly wasn't dealt the very best hand of cards
But if all of these bachelors would somehow disappear
I was sure you could fall for somebody like me
Young Billy played football he was the captain of the team
He was surrounded by girls but he had a crush on you it seemed
He failed to come home from a running trip one night
They found him run over by the same car twice
But you still had many others to whom I could not compare
Grown up handsome lovers who'd buy you anything and take you anywhere
Marcella Lumbardo your teacher in math
Was known to give you special attention after class
One morning his maid found him screaming at a piece of bread
He had been crudely lobotomised with an ice pick to the head
Oswald the painter he was an old perverted bloke
I heard he'd done a painting of you where you weren't wearing clothes
It was all over the news when they found the dirty swine
He had died from drinking a bit too many pints of turpentine

But still you had some others to whom I could not compare
Grown up handsome lovers who would buy you anything and take you anywhere
Race car driver Roger he was really quite the star
I went up to his house one night and I modified his car
The next day they found him at the bottom of the lake
Why would anyone go driving down those hills without no brakes?
Handsome Eddy the young keen deputy in town
It was said that he'd been seen driving you around
One day Eddy took a leap from a twelfth floor balcony
After eating 6 or 7 doughnuts spiked with LSD
Now there weren't so many others to whom I could not compare
All your other lovers had all these random accidents or simply disappeared
Do you remember the last time I held your hands in mine?
Standing on your porch with sirens all around
I told you that I loved you
And you seemed quite surprised
But as the cops read my charges the tears ran from your eyes
But I knew that you would never meet another quite like me
I was never handsome talented or smart
But I think I managed to make you remember me
