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 02:19
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 02:53
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
