Lanegan, Mark - The Circus Is Leaving Town Lyrics






The party's over now
So draw the curtains down
Your secret's safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
And let your hair hang loose
Kick off your satin shoes
Throw back the ida down
Farewell to Friday's clown

The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes

Fix up something to heap
Still water still run deep
The dogs are barking now
Get back out on the street

The circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

The party is over now
Stop howling at the moon
You need a different beat
You need a different tune

Remember that old song
We heard when we were young
Life was an empty page
The world would ride upon

Do you recall the meadow past
We sit and watch the hours pass
You were such a good girl then
Oh ruby dry your eyes

Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes

You're searching when you walk
You're searching when you talk
You could make me believe
That the sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east

    Here are the CORRECT lyrics:

    The party's over now
    So draw the curtains down
    Your secret's safe to keep
    Unzip your velvet gown
    And let your hair hang loose
    Kick off your satin shoes
    Throw back the eiderdown
    Farewell to Friday's clown

    The circus is leaving town
    Oh Ruby roll your stockings down
    Circus is leaving town
    Oh Ruby dry your eyes

    Fix up something to eat
    Still waters still run deep
    The dogs are barking now
    Get back out on the street

    The circus is leaving town
    Oh Ruby roll your stockings down
    Circus is leaving town
    So Ruby dry your eyes

    The party's over now
    Stop howling at the moon
    You need a different beat
    You need a different tune
    Remember that old song
    We had when we were young
    Life was an empty page
    The world would write upon

    Do you recall the meadow grass
    We'd sit and watch the hours pass
    You were such a good girl then
    Oh Ruby dry your eyes

    Circus is leaving town
    Oh Ruby roll your stockings down
    Circus is leaving town
    So Ruby dry your eyes

    You're searching when you walk
    You're searching when you talk
    You could make me believe
    That the sun sets in the east
    The sun sets in the east
    The sun sets in the east
