Circus Song Lyrics

[instrumental opening]


Get away from me.
I told you I don't need you.

I cling to this cross, salt-water coming in, with air in every breath I take.
I'm so hungry.

I'm so hungry.
Starved beyond belief, and I hope that death will settle soon.

Death, come to me.
I've lost hope in this sea criss-cross I cling to.
Staring in this sea of blue, there's nothing new for me to look forward to.
Nothing old or new. A lost man in the sea and I am with alone.
In the horizon, I see a silhouette, and it appears and I'm tempted to climb aboard on a beautiful cruise ship.
There's no white flags there's no red dresses, cause I don't need you, and this ship has everything I need.
You're just a pitiful little cross I used to cling to you were a part of my past, a part of my past.
you were a bridge that crumbled underneath my feat, you suffered defeat, all because of me,
I don't need you.
i told you to get lost, what are you doing? Get lost why are you still here. i see you drifting beside me
I walked aboard. On this ship I have everything I've ever needed.
I'll never flee here, here I live, this world needs me, I have a purpose here, a purpose to entertain.
Being wanted feels so good, but being needed feels even better. Why are you still drifting there on that pitiful cross?
I'll take this knife and I'll cut you loose
I'll do my best to get rid of you.
Leave me alone, and you're drifting in the distance,
In pitiful despair my deepest despair lies with you, lies with you.
Now I have happiness happiness ahh, I'm so happy, and I leave you behind now, to continue my journey, without you, on my own, independence, importance, I have it all.
Thank-you for co-operating, but you didn't co-operate. And now I leave you now forever I am gone now, I don't need you and I'll never need you again.

You were one step in my life that I needed to take, though I see the step behind me, I will take you to my grave. One little mistake and I would've been lost.
I pray, now and i pray onto you and i pray up, up into the heavens. Take me, I am but a pitiful servant.
I am dust on the wind, here then and gone again. Please take me, I, I need to be taken, forgive me, forgive me.
