Circus lyrics

Written by: Lenny Kravitz

You think you're on top of the world
But you know it磗 really over
Runnin' round with diamond rings
And coke spoons that are overflowin'
Rock an Roll is dead
But all the money in the world
Can't buy you from the place you're going to
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead
Rock an Roll is dead

You can't even sing or play an instrument

One day while I was searching
For what I'll never find
She walked into my story
Said she could change my mind
This is the final offer
She said to make it quick
Don't lose out on this wonder
So I had to place my bet

Welcome to the picture show
Watching your life
Never know which way to go
It might not be right
So you better be strong

What kind of circus is this
What kind of fools are we

Beyond the 7th sky
There's a room where we are with God
Beyond the sun and moon
Where the angels will be our guard
Where the weather doesn't change
Everyday is summer
As the sands are numbered
Instead of cannonball grey
Do you think it's kinda strange
Or can we be lovers
As the spirit covers our electrified rage

Hold me mama
And we'll fly across the sea
Way beyond the moon and stars and sky

All I want,
Is all you got
Make me happy baby
And I'll make it hot
I don't need no doctor
To tell me what to do
'Cause I know I'm goin'
Straight ahead for you

I got that tunnel vision goin' through my head
I can't help myself all I see is red
Tunnel vision goin' through my head
Lay me down inside your flying bed

All that's yours
And all that's mine
We'll put together baby
And we can combine

Life is just a lonely highway
I'm out here on the open road
I'm old enough to see behind me
But young enough to feel my soul
I don't wanna lose you baby
And I don't wanna be alone
Don't wanna live my days without you
But for now I've got to be without you

I've got a pocket full of money
And pocket full of keys that have no bounds
But then I think of lovin'
And I just can't get you off of my mind

She was only seventeen
In her prime of life she was lean
And her only dream was to be on the silver screen
She hailed from north of Baltimore
Her mama says she'd end up a whore
And she spent up all her dough at the movie show

She's all go go go yeah yeah
She wears her pants on her hips too low
She learned it all in magazines
She's Magdalene
Ain't it funny how the sun shines

God is love
Through all your trials and tribulations
God is love
He'll get you through all situations
God is love
And if you are ready He always is ready for you

God loves everyone
That's why He gave His son, oh yeah
And you should feel His pain
Yet He gave us everything

God is love
He'll get you through your pain and sorrow
God is love
He's coming back maybe tomorrow
God is love

You must be walking
On shaky ground
You're always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every way

When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you thought you'd lost
But you paid a cost,
Hey ...

You can live your life for so long
But when you're walking on thin ice you will fall
You can live your life for so long

Yeah,
(Thank you Jesus for the song)
Hey, Hey hey hey...
Don't do it, don't do it

Don't go and put a bullet in your head
Just turn your life around instead
Don't go and put a bullet in your head

I'm gonna get it
But workin' nine to five just doesn't let it
I feel I'm wastin' time and I regret it
Can't even feed my kids and my wife
Oh I'm longing to find it
A taste of the sweeter life oh my

When my memory starts to wander
I sit back and I ponder
How the whole world's gone asunder
I feel the rain and I hear the thunder

I was bare and I was lost
But you were there and now I'm born
You are the force and strength
In my life today

And oh how I thank you father
For giving us all over and under
You're a mystery, You're a wonder
I always knew since I was younger

If you could feel what I could feel
Well then you'd know His love is real
If you could hear what I could hear
Well then you'd know the King is near

The resurrection is here to stay
And He's coming back again
The resurrection is here to stay
And He's coming back again
To reclaim all His souls and set us free
The resurrection is here to say
That He's coming back again

Look what He's done to me

One day while i was searching
for what i'll never find
she walked into my story
said she could change my mind
this is the final offer
she said to make it quick
don't lose out on this wonder
so i had to place my bet.

Welcome to the picture show
watching your life
never know which way to go
it might not be right
so you better be strong

What kind of circus is this?
what kind of fools are we?

You must be walking
On shaky ground
Your always jumping
At every sound
You've been a hustler for all your days
A real motherfucker in every way
When you're a loser you're all alone
So you made up for everything
That you thougth you'd lost
But you paid a cost
Hey....
You can live your life for so long
But when your walking on thin ice you will fall
You're always running
With every game

Super soul fighter's coming
Oh yeah

Soul brother space man
Flying through the sky
Fighting wars and battles
Defending you and I

He's spreading super love vibrations
For a better day
Electronic super soul vibrations
Coming all the way

Super soul
Super soul
Super soul fighter's coming
Yes he's coming

Super soul
Super soul
Super soul fighter's coming
Yes he's coming

The lord of the wasteland

They say that our love is all wrong
And that we should not carry on
But I say they're wrong
I want you so bad

Oh we've been together for so long
How could they think we don't belong ?
But they'll never know what you and I have

Call your mama
Call your papa
Call the preacher
Hold on hold on

Call your mama
Call your papa
Go on and call the preacher
Hold on hold on

I'm a straight cold player
Just a straight cold player
Straight cold prayer
Ouah !

Just a straight cold player
Just a straight cold player
Straight cold player
Ouah!

I'm a straight cold player
I'm just a straight cold player
Straight cold player
I'm just a straight cold player, player
Straight cold player
Just a straight cold player
Straight cold player
I'm just a straight cold player

All I have
And all I do
Cannot compare
To the love of you

You make me feel alive
You are my highest high
All I can do is smile
When I look in my little girl's eyes

When I look in my little girl's eyes X4

You're my star
And when I'm far
You're not alone
'Cause your heart's my home

You are my biggest prize
So beautiful and so wise
I can see the woman from within my child

The way you love me
Is like a needle in my vein
When you're not around me
You know it just don't feel the same

And I've waited a long time
Just to feel the way I do
Just give me the reason
And I will be all over you

'Cause you're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of
You're my flavor of love
You're my flavor I'm dreaming of

The way you touch me
Somehow it takes away the pain

Is there anyone out there
Willing to try ?
Or are we satisfied with just getting by ?

We've hurt mother nature
Can't you see her she's crying
We've robbed and we've raped her and taken her child

And oh oh oh can we find a reason ?
Just think about it
And oh oh oh can we find a reason
To live another season ?

We're fighting more battles
Everyday we're alive
We should be rejoicing
