             B7                          B7
Last night I dreamt that in a circus you flew the high trapeze
         B7                                B7
And your lover was a lion tamer that could crack a whip with ease
B7           E7  
And you were living with the ringmaster the only one who let us be
      B7
I was sleeping in the owl cage where they used to keep the freak
            G                                F#
You know it started on the last day that the Circus was in town
  E7
A gypsy boy arrives and he had to learn to be a clown

               B7                          B7
You said you'd teach me how to make it and how to walk through fire
        B7                                    B7
And I'm sleeping on damp straw, but I'm still burning with desire
B7    E7
    I used to love to watch you bow with your feathers and your cape
  B7
I used to love to see you fly but I knew I should escape
              G                  F#
You said your body was a cage to which I held the key
      E7
And I had to pick all your locks before I set you free

            B7                                          B7
Well, every night, you'd wake me through the bars you'd poke me with a   
stick
              B7                          B7
You said your body might be twisted and I hope your mind is sick
B7    E7
         And the jugglers, they saw us riding in the straw
    B7
And ran to tell the ringmaster everything they saw
      G                        F#
Who returned to tell me of the fate I would befall
      E7
As he handed me the costume for the human cannonball

             B7                            B7
Well with my head out of the cannon it was hard not to blame her
       B7                          B7
It was pointing at the cage at the lion's entertainment
B7      E7
    The tiger it was pacing and I saw her panting, though
            B7
When you're wearing nothing but a helmet and a leotard it ain't easy 
looking cool
    G                                F#
The shot went through the air and as I was looking down
    E7
The gypsy boy arrives and he hasn't learned to be a clown
            G                                F#
You know it started on the last day that the Circus was in town
