The Democratic Circus Lyrics - Talking Heads

Found out this morning 

There's a circus coming to town 

They drive in Cadillacs 

Using walkie-talkies, and the Secret Service 

Their big top 

Imitation of life 

And all the flags and microphones 

We have to cover our eyes 

We play the sideshows 

And we like the tunnel of love 

And when we ride the ferris wheel 

We're little children again 

And when they're asking for volunteers 

We'll be the first ones aboard 

And when the ringmaster calls our names 

We'll be the first ones to go ... to sleep

Stealing all our dreams 

Dreams for sale 

They sell 'em back to you 

On with the show 

Start the parade 

We sand along 

Sweep us away 

It's political party time 

Going down, going down 

And the celebrities all come out 

Coming down, coming down, coming... 

The sun is going down 

And the dogs are starting to howl 

We stay out after dark 

Eating cotton candy 

And the music's playing... 

Photos 

How we all laughed! 

We split our sides 

The cameras flashed 

We almost died! 

The rain's gonna pour on down, falling out of the sky 

Coming down, coming down 

And the celebrities all run out, and the rain's 

Coming down, coming down 

Gonna rain, 

Gonna rain, gonna rain 

Gonna rain, gonna rain, 

Rain, rain 

Rain, rain 

And now I wonder who's boss 

And who he's leavin' behind?
