Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - The Circus Is Leaving Town lyrics

The party's over now So draw the curtains down Your secret's safe to keep Unzip your velvet gown And let your hair hang loose Kick off your satin shoes Throw back the ida down Farewell to Friday's clown The circus is leaving town Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby, dry your eyes Fix up something to heap Still water still run deep The dogs are barking now Get back out on the street The circus is leaving town Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town So Ruby, dry your eyes The party is over now Stop howling at the moon You need a different beat You need a different tune Remember that old song We heard when we were young Life was an empty page The world would ride upon Do you recall the meadow past We sit and watch the hours pa** You were such a good girl then Oh ruby dry your eyes Circus is leaving town Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down Circus is leaving town So Ruby, dry your eyes You're searching when you walk You're searching when you talk You could make me believe That the sun sets in the east The sun sets in the east The sun sets in the east
