You’re my ticket to the big show

The Love Bazaar

But I can’t go

Since love’s afterglow

Makes my scars show-

And only you know- you know…

Oh Ring Master

I will do anything

Sacrifice everything

to not miss you

as much as I do

and my desperate ways have outstayed

the welcome

And its ok, my dear

I can see the circus from here

Dancing in the middle of the night

Your wife nowhere in sight

Still in mind

Under my skin

Where sin begins

Without an Alibi-

So I lie more

Hoping

The universe will forgive us

Tiny dancing ants and

Dream me up a duplicate

One day when I can forget us

At the end of the show

I’ll submit

to the bruises I can’t forget

And don’t regret-

After all

They are the you that I can hold onto.
