Love Circus Lyrics by Jeffrey Lee Pierce

Wildweed

1985

Now, is it uptown or downtown?
Why did you come down here?
We haven't seen the likes of your blonde hair
Since we got the fear
Now, you don't need to be so violent
You don't need to be silent
You don't need to be so private
Since you took the loss
It's a love circus
Now everyone's so sad in town
And it's a long way downtown
Now, is it yellow, black or brown, or white?
Why did you come down here
We haven't seen anyone dead like you
Since a war was near
Now, you don't need that chipped shoulder
You don't need that business folder
You don't need to get any bolder
If it's business time
Cause it's a love circus
Now, is it uptown or downtown?
Is it Chinatown or Funkytown?
You got a price that is not so nice
You got demise written on your mind
And the heat they all know you
And the heat would like to catch you
And the heat always knew the crew was due
On you
And it's a love circus
Now, everyone's so sad in town
And it's a long way downtown
