You must think my life's a circus Watching me laughing And slapping my thighs How'd ya like to die In the house of mirrors With nobody around to close your eyes. Chorus: Going down to the greyhound station Going back home And get what's mine Got me a date With the ten o'clock special Gonna be there at a quarter to nine. Chorus:
