Lyrics Clowns (The Demise of the European Circus With No Thanks to Fellini) - Almond , Mark
So
long
to
yesterday
You
were
a
good
friend
to
me
Maybe
you
were
the
best
of
day[s]
But
I
was
too
blind
to
see
And
the
old
clowns
cry
As
the
children
ran
out
to
wave
As
the
circus
went
by
As
the
circus
went
by
Take
down
the
sideshows
and
the
colored
lights
And
leave
not
a
trace
on
the
ground
Pack
the
canvas
that
served
you
well
Mr.
Yesterday's
Circus
leaves
town
And
the
old
clowns
cry
As
the
children
ran
out
to
wave
As
the
circus
went
by
As
the
circus
went
by
Old
Rosie
the
Gypsy
she's
a-goin'
home
For
the
curious
they
don't
pay
anymore
She'd
talk
about
the
days
gone
by
and
prophesy
And
for
a
dollar
she'd
tell
you
all
the
things
that
she
saw
And
the
old
clowns
cry
As
the
children
ran
out
to
wave
As
the
circus
went
by
Kissing
all
things
goodbye
The
carousel
sounds
are
fading
now
And
the
horses
are
broken
and
sad
As
today
says
good-bye
to
yesterday
And
the
best
things
that
a
small
boy
could
have
And
the
old
clowns
cry
As
the
children
ran
out
to
wave
As
the
circus
went
by
As
the
circus
went
by
All
dreams
must
die
All
dreams
must
die
All
dreams
must
die
All
dreams
must
die
