Circle Circus

( V1) I keep running around in circles
trying to stay out of my way
but I bump into my shadow
and knock myself down again

There's got to be a simple exit
On this crazy loop station
There's got to be a way off
This over the top nation

(Chr) It's a circle circus
Clowns are driving the bus
It's a circle circus
The wheels are starting to rust 

It's a circle circus (circle circus)
It's a circle circus (circle circus)

(V2) I'm not one to have patience
In fact I'm quite impatient
Don't asked me to herd cats
That's not where I'm at

I see a lose lose situation
That's not hard to discern
There's no need for explanation
Some people never learn

(Chr) It's a circle circus
Clowns are driving the bus
It's a circle circus
The wheels are starting to

It's a circle circus (circle circus)
It's a circle circus (circle circus)

(solo break) (repeat chorus 2x's)

(Coda) If I want to make change
I don't get all deranged
I keep my head about me
Without it I just can't see

Circle Circus is a Beatlesque type song idea that popped into my head. I recorded the basic tracks (Lead vocal, guitar, bass and scratch drums) so I could monitor to stimulate additional production ideas. It's finally all fleshed out with the help of DrC.

Since the lyric is a jab at the current political antics in the USA at the time, I felt it needed a Circus/Dixieland type intro atmosphere. So DrC worked his magic and wah lah....here it is!

DrC did the drum programming and all keyboards/horns....recorded at his place.

I did the rhythm guitar, Mind Bender guitar effect, bass, lead guitar, and all vocals....recorded at my place.

We co-produced and DrC mixed it.

Enjoy!
