Circus Lyrics

Lyric discussion by BarnabyHughes 

Cover art for Circus lyrics by Tom Waits

I love the Humour in this piece of Poetry about the colorful characters you can imagine travel with the circus. You can almost smell the atmosphere, the eccentricity of the people and the slightly sinister feeling of the circumstances of his encounter with these odd people.

Doe's he need the whiskey and Gun to protect himself, has he been Kidnapped by them..................it reminds me of that film 'Carny'.
