"Hooplas Involving Circus Tricks" as written by and Eric Elbogen....
It's crowded and we're bored
The chamber maid: she snores
The drummer's gone to tune up all her toms
I laid my head down and now my wallet's gone
Hooplas involving circus tricks
At addresses way out in the sticks
The pixies in tight green little skirts say it's so much better now that is hurts
The tides that pull you down in the river
She touched my knee and that made me quiver
Winks with her eye, 3.14 (pi)
Is there anyone who knows the whole thing?
It's loaded with references when the mime speaks about the biz
We asked him for a glass that might be clean
But he's too busy posing for fashion 'zines
Hooplas involving circus tricks
At addresses way out in the sticks
The pixies in tight green little skirts say it's so much better now that is hurts
The tides that pull you down in the river
She touched my knee and that made me quiver
Winks with her eye, 3.14 (pi)
Is there anyone who knows the whole thing?
Hooplas involving circus tricks

The tides that pull you down in the river

Winks with her eye, 3.14 (pi)
Is there anyone, is there anyone?

I'm pretty sure it's about a circus, but I have another theory as well.
I was thinking it might have to do with illegal activity.
Hooplas involving circus tricks
At addresses way out in the sticks
...Out in the sticks, like where no one can find them doing illegal things?
The pixies in tight green little skirts say it's so much better now that is hurts
...So maybe it's like a whorehouse or something? haha
It's loaded with references when the mime speaks about the biz
We asked him for a glass that might be clean
But he's too busy posing for fashion 'zines
... Because everything's dirty in their little business?
Maybe i'm wrong in my theorizing, but oh well :)

Pi is an incredibly large number and it goes on and on. No one knows how long it is, and there is no pattern whatsoever to the order of its digits. And also..one little Asian boy has recited it to 1000 decimal places from memory.
I think that line is saying that his attention faded for a moment and then a girl just caught him off guard.
maybe the pi reference was him saying that no one knows all of pi... so no one knows all the great things that we experience in love.
This song is absolutely fantastic. The chorus is just great.
