The singer cries for peoples lies

He will sing for the day to bring him night

The circus burns in carnival flame

And for a while you wont know my name at all

But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold

The juggling clown smiles to me

And every frown we agree is glad

The [bad word] to bring the bums

From bowery heat to crimson streets of wine

But magic lands will never touch our sands

Your children smile in single file

They learn mistakes that others make

They see although they cannot know

The needs theyll need to have their greed grow wild

But dance and sing, for others bring the shame

And for a while you wont know my name
