TÃ³came Lyrics

On the day the circus came to town
When I found out
I couldn't see the lines
My eyes were blurred, and purposely
Underneath the tensioned canopy
I nominate myself
To assist in the trick
And luckily, I knew it
Ooh when will I learn to stand
Up on feet on my hands
Behind the curtains lays me down
So I can face the stage
I have wanted much before
But this time
I want it more
Ooh when will I learn to stand
Up on feet on my hands
When will I let it be
Ooh
On the day the circus packed and left
When I too made the choice
I tried my best to see
The gladness when so soon things leave, and purposely

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
