When The Circus Comes Lyrics - Phish

Could of had a chance to get out of this mess 

The time that you came and the day that you left 

Could of had a chance 

Could of had a chance 

Never thought I could make it this far 

With a pain in my soul and a hole in my heart 

Never thought I could 

Never thought I could 

[Chorus:] 

But when the lights are turnin' round 

The wheels are flowing on the ground 

The day I burned this whole place down 

When the circus comes to town 

Carved your name out on that tree 

Scratched mine out right in front of me 

Didn't mean that much 

Didn't mean that much 

[Chorus:] 

Carved your name out on that tree 

Scratched mine out right in front of me 

Didn't mean that much 

Didn't mean that much 

[Chorus:]
