(Charles Frohman)
I've heard enough, you're losing your mind
You're speaking in riddles and the riddles don't rhyme
You want flying children up there on the stage
Dogs wearing aprons and boys who don't age
You say I will adore it but I'm paying for it
A little more reality and less of this insanity!
How am I gonna to face it
Such a disgrace yet here we go again and again and again
You are living on a merry go round and round you seem to go and I'll never understand why
You want people floating weightlessly
Ceilings where the floors should be
These are all the things
You will find in the circus of your mind
[instrumental]
(Mary Barrie)
I've resigned myself to spend all my life
To be all the things one expects from a wife
Your imagination is where you reside
And my invitation has never arrived
Darling, though you try, you cannot deny
She's on every single page of your journal, James
Now we have to face it such a disgrace yet
There you go again and again and again
It's like living on a merry-go-round and round we seem to go yet, I never seem to know why
I'm hearing people whisper quietly
Friends are now avoiding me
It's over! I'm leaving you behind- to the circus of your mind
[instrumental]
(Mrs. du Maurier)
There has been nothing but trouble and strife
Ever since you came into this family's life
So much disruption the children don't need
And as for my daughter I must intercede!
Everything about you they can do without you
Take flights of fantasy
I question your morality
I told them to ignore you now I must implore you
Leave them alone, stay away, we all know
You are living on a merry-go-round and round you seem to go understand that we have no time
For the circus of your mind
[instrumental]

(Charles Frohman)
The clock is ticking James
(Mary Barrie)
Laughingstock of London
(Mrs. du Maurier)
Spare us your crocodile tears, Mr. Barrie
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock
(Charles Frohman)
Islands, children who are fairies...
(Mrs. du Maurier)
That man is a grown-up behaving like a boy
(All)
It's like living on a merry go round and round you seem to go
No one seems to know why
We're doing everything
That we can do to get through to you
Try to make you see but you're blind
In the circus of your mind
In the circus
In the circus
In the circus
Of your mind!
