Bigtop Lyrics by Sumack

Buttery Hotcakes

0

She got back and her back was broken
Carried home tall tale between her legs
Turned out the circus weren't all she cracked it up to be
Spilled her basket and shattered all her eggs

She left home with her bag of jimmy notes
Station wagon commandeered she sings “they'll never miss me”
Bearded lady took her under wings

(Hook)

She became the cannonball
The costume became her
And she learned to take a fall
Downfall down at the big top

She thought she'd get a crown and a leotard
They gave her a helmet and a cape
Lights went down and fuses sputtered
Powder blew her world lost all its shape, all its shape, all its shape

She got back and her back was broken
Flew the air without the slightest ease

(Hook)

She became the cannonball
The costume became her
And she learned to take a fall
Downfall down at the big top

She learned to write with her pinky fingers
Learned to speak by blinking both her eyes
Mom comes in at 6 to feed her
Station wagon rusting in the yard
