WILD BILLY'S CIRCUS STORY - BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN[00:00:00]

The machinist climbs his Ferris wheel like a braid[00:00:23]

And the fire-eater's lyin' in a pool of sweat victim of the heat wave[00:00:31]

Behind the tent the hired hand tightens his legs on the sword swallower's blade[00:00:40]

Circus town's on the shortwave[00:00:51]

Well the runway lies ahead like a great false dawn[00:01:04]

Fat lady big mama Missy Bimbo sits in her chair and yawns[00:01:12]

And the man-beast lies in his cage sniffin' popcorn[00:01:21]

And the midget licks his fingers and suffers Missy Bimbo's scorn[00:01:30]

Circus town's been born[00:01:41]

And a press roll drummer go ballerina to-and-fro cartwheelin' up on that tightrope[00:01:46]

With a cannon blast lightnin' flash movin' fast through the tent Mars-bent[00:01:58]

He's gonna miss his fall oh God save the human cannonball[00:02:03]

And the flyin' Zambinis watch Margarita do her neck twist[00:02:12]

And the ringmaster gets the crowd to count along: 95 96 97[00:02:20]

A ragged suitcase in his hand he steals silently away from the circus grounds[00:02:31]

And the highway's haunted by the carnival sounds[00:02:39]

They dance like a great greasepaint ghost on the wind[00:02:44]

A man in baggy pants a lonely face a crazy grin[00:02:52]

Runnin' home to some small Ohio town[00:03:03]

Jesus send some good women to save all your clowns[00:03:09]

And Circus Boy dances like a monkey on barbed wire[00:03:19]

And the barker romances with a junkie she's got a flat tire[00:03:27]

And now the elephants dance real funky and the band plays like a jungle fire[00:03:34]

Circus town's on the live wire[00:03:45]

And the strong man Samson lifts the midget little Tiny Tim up on his shoulders way up[00:03:51]

And carries him on down the midway past the kids past the sailors to his dimly lit trailer[00:03:59]

And the Ferris wheel turns and turns like it ain't ever gonna stop[00:04:11]

And the circus boss leans over and whispers into the little boy's ear[00:04:20]

"Hey son you want to try the big top [00:04:26]

All aboard Nebraska's our next stop"[00:04:32]
