The Circus Rolls On
Like the Flamingo Cowboy
Riding his pink horse
I'm a thousand miles into the skyway
I've felt worse
Thirty days in Texas
Felt like thirty years
Galactic shamans and electric scoundrels
Keeping it weird
And the circus rolls on
And the circus rolls on
Green-eyed lady of the Hill Country
With eyes like St. Elmo's Fire
Yeah I noticed you wink at me
I just thought I was tired
I am the Flamingo Cowboy
Riding into the neon sunrise
I would ride all night
Just to meet those green eyes
And the circus rolls on
And the circus rolls on
Pink elephant clouds
Roam the big Texas sky
Ghostly visions and endless songs
Never felt so right
Skimming through the shenanigans
Love scenes in fast-forward
Mental illness on Polaroid
Lonesome as fire
And the circus rolls on
Yeah the circus rolls on

Grey Lady
Grey Lady's stepping out
Turning in too early
And I'm out too late again
Wondering how I'm gonna get back up
In the morning
And it's no mystery that she don't know
Where she's gone or going to
And then I think of you
Running from the angel of truth
Grey Lady's way too wasted
Tries to makes out
Hey paws off
With the mouth of the nighttime
And those hungry jowls
Grey Lady's stepping out
Takes a step back
And stumbles back to the bar
I wonder where you are
Running from the angel of truth
Grey Lady's stepping out
Turning in too late
And I'm out too early again

Slice of Life
I ain't as nimble as I used to be
Sometimes I rarely have a bite to eat
So I am gonna find a slice of life
A piece of the pie alright
And I'm still hungry like when I was young
Still I'm fiery like a smoking gun
So I am gonna go and find some fun
Before time runs out
The river's long and the river's wide sometimes
But you'll stay on track
If you don't look back
So if you wanna come and visit me
We could take a tour of history
Pirates and presidents that used to roam
And my personal ghosts
The river's long and the river's wide sometimes
But you'll find your way
Still you'll have your day
I ain't as nimble as I used to be
But certain things do rejuvenate me
And darlin you seem like a slice of life
A piece of the pie alright
And I am ready for a slice of life
A piece of the pie
Alright

Landlubber
I tried floating around this morning
But I couldn't leave the ground
I am a cloud in a nebula
I have been around
Lost and found
Spellbound
Think I'd prefer to be lost at sea
It doesn't feel half-bad to me
And it sure beats dry land
So I went walking through the old woods
Of my mind
I came upon an old car
The bootleggers left behind
My rusted bones don't move so fast no more
Think I'd prefer to be lost at sea
It doesn't feel half-bad to me
And it sure beats dry land
Think I'd prefer to be lost at sea
It's a recent epiphany
That I've always had
And I never was no landlubber
I never was no landlubber no
I never was no landlubber
No way
I never was no landlubber
I never was no landlubber no
I never was no landlubber no way
No way

Triceratops
If I was a dinosaur I'd be a triceratops
All big and horny
From the bottom to my top
Used to think I'd be a T-Rex
But my arms are too long
And I ain't king enough
To be old King Kong nah
And if I was any other animal I'd be a marsupial
I could rent out my pouch
Complete with TV and couch
I could store all my stash and go crusin' down to Bonnaroo
Do-do-do-do
But I ain't captain enough
To be Captain Kangaroo nah
But if I was a dinosaur I'd be a triceratops
All big and horny
From the bottom to my top
Used to think I'd be a T-Rex
But my arms are too long (aw)
But I ain't king enough
To be old King Kong nah
