I've never been lost on Bourbon Street
In a bottle of cheap red wine
But I've been drunk on promises
That left me high and dry
Who's to say who's to blame
I'm not keeping score
But it hurts just as much to leave you
As to leave an open door
I can't say what is right for you
All I can say is if there's really nothing else to do
I'm gonna run away to the circus
I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'm gonna do my heart all up in greasepaint
And find three rings to keep you off my mind
I can holler with the best of them
Just to keep myself crazy and blind
I'm gonna run away to the circus
To keep you off my mind
I need a second opinion
For these answers I can't understand
Are we puppets on strings or mystical things
Or is it all sleight of hand?
I can't say what is right for you
All I can say is if there's really nothing else to do
I'm gonna run away to the circus
I'm gonna leave you far behind
I'm gonna do my heart all up in greasepaint
And find three rings to keep you off my mind
I can holler with the best of them
Just to keep myself crazy and blind
I'm gonna run away to the circus
To keep you off my mind
I'm gonna run away to the circus
To keep you off my mind
In a bottle of cheap red wine
But I've been drunk on promises
