I felt the ground move from under me the day we ended things , ohhhh..... but truly I thought someday I'd move on from whatever heartache it brings maybe elsewhere is where I belong but nature abhors a vacuum she fills it with something much worse I think my life has been cursed How did I ever survive? Are you the only good one left alive? (chorus) And since that day they have all come to play a parade of clowns jugglers and thieves knife throwers and others you would scarcely believe have come and gone from me I've known so much misery that's all Ive ever found in this life without you around Just this parade of clowns I've wanted you here to help me maybe talk some sense to my head but I had to learn the hard way I'm lucky right now I'm not dead or stuck with them still to this day but I guess I had something to prove, yet Knowing my life could never be improved By running away and joining the circus, ohhh..... Caging animals and whipping lions Am I the only one left with a soul not dyin' ? (chorus) And since that day they have all come to play a parade of clowns transients and hang arounds come and go from my town come and go from me Leaving me destitute and lonely I've known so much misery that's all Ive ever found in this life without you around Just this parade of clowns I've known so much tragedy that's all Ive ever found in this life without you around Just this parade of clowns I've known so much heartache that's all Ive ever found in this life without you around Just this parade of clowns just this parade of clowns (no you, no you , no you no you no you, ooooo.....) Just this parade of clowns......... (echoing reverb fade out) Words and Music by Maryam El Sherif 2026 Flying Eggs Music
