I saw the circus last week and it made me stop and think
if I flipped a coin and had to join who in the circus is me?

would I swing high on a trapeze the thought makes me weak in the knees
I'd be ready to fly and feel everyone's eyes on me and then I would freeze

would I spit out a big ball of fire would I walk through the air on a wire?
that all sounds appealing but I have a feeling professionals are who they should hire

would I train the fleas to transform into a performing swarm
that sounds exciting 'till the fleas start biting and everyone heads for the door

solo

I would join the clowns for fun in a car with a hundred and one
but what would I do if I'm clown 102 my clown career would be done

I think in the end I will stay in the crowd and be thrilled
to watch the pros put on a show with daring and style and skill
