Amy Ratcliffe - Circus Of Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's a door without a key, he's a guitar without strings
She was lying wide open like a Bible on a plinth
Came on like a hellfire preacher, casting out her ghosts
Fell at the first hurdle like a Grand National horse

[Chorus]
Oh, kingdom of strife (Oh)
Oh, circus of life (Woo)

[Verse 2]
She tried to rearrange him, his strings were cut loose
He dangled like a puppet, crumpled and spooked
He's a whiskey-priest, a punctured beast
Another barroom king without his crown

[Chorus]
Oh, kingdom of strife (Oh)
Oh, circus of lifе

[Post-Chorus]
Clowns all juggled, jugglers told jokes
Lion tamеrs danced up on the tightrope
Trapeze girls in the lions' cage
He's got the soul of a lover, but his heart is full of rage (Oh)
[Verse 3]
He's a soldier with no rifle, a crook without a job
A blind man cane-less, now he's walking into walls
He's countin' his chickens, wolves are at the door
He's a convict of love in his sad sick cell of woe

[Chorus]
Oh, kingdom of strife
Oh, circus of life (Oh)

[Post-Chorus]
Clowns all juggled, jugglers told jokes
Lion tamers danced up on the tightrope
Trapeze girls in the lions' cage
He's got the soul of a lover, but his heart is full of rage (Oh)

[Verse 4]
Things he believed in, he don't anymore
There's a whore in his hallway, the police at the door
He's stranded and helpless, he's shouting in silence
The fruits of the flesh are embedded in violence
The lips he once kissed are now lips that curse him
And nothing gets better, it only gets worse

[Chorus]
Oh, kingdom of strife
Oh, circus of life
[Post-Chorus]
Clowns all juggled, jugglers told jokes
Lion tamers danced up on the tightrope
Trapeze girls in the lions' cage
He's got the soul of a lover, but his heart is full of rage

[Verse 5]
He's running from himself, he can never get away
He's masking his feelings with two bottles a day
He's still looking for salvation in another's arms
They're all out to do you in and do you harm (Oh)

[Chorus]
Oh, circus of life
Oh, kingdom of strife
Oh, circus of life
Oh, kingdom of strife

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
He's out on his own with the sky and the stars
The wind calls her name and memory scars
He disappears her face with three bottles a day
His stomach is screaming, the landlord wants pay
Where has it got him? Where can he go?
When he's stuck at the bottom and the ringmaster says
"On with the show"
"On with the show"
"On with the show"
[Interlude]
He drinks to remember, he drinks to forget
He drinks for the hell of it and he's not finished yet
Exhalted in company (Oh), melancholic alone
He's nailed to the bottle, he's soaked to the bone
He drinks when he's lonely and that's quite a lot these days
Top shelf nirvana, rock bottom final phase
He's trying to fill a hole that can never be filled
The more he digs, the deeper trouble he's in

[Chorus]
Oh, kingdom of strife
Oh, circus of life
Oh, kingdom of strife
Oh, circus of life

[Outro]
Kingdom of strife
