When the Circus Comes (David Hidalgo/Louie Pérez) Could have had a chance to get out of this wreck The time that you came and the day that you left Could have had a chance Could have had a chance Never thought I could make it this far With a dent in my soul and a hole in my heart Never thought I could Never thought I could (Chorus) But when the lights are turning 'round And wheels are rolling on the ground That day I'll burn this whole place down When the circus comes to town You left your name carved on a tree You scratched mine out right in front of me Didn't mean that much Didn't mean that much (Chorus) I'll scratch your name out on that tree I'll chase your heart right out of me Doesn't mean that much Doesn't mean that much (Chorus) (c) 1991-1992 Davince Music/No K.O.
