Bread for the Circus

Maya De Vitry

[VERSE 1]
It’s a circus, it’s attraction
It’s animals and passion
It’s a big-top extravaganza
And it’s rolling past
There’s a magic of distraction
The flash of satisfaction
But she dreamed of running away

[VERSE 2]
And when the big top was quiet
She stayed up talking with the lions
And from the flying trapeze
She saw the ringmaster staggering past
At night she learned to juggle fire
She taught herself to walk on the wire
And she dreamed of running away

[Chorus]
But she hung around
Baking bread for the circus
Town to town
Baking bread for the circus
Looking down
Baking bread for the circus

[VERSE 3]
Was it hope or confusion
Protection or illusion
That hеld her like a magnet
To thе madness of the show?
She gave all of her attention
As if bread was her invention
But she dreamed of running away
Yes, she dreamed of running away

[Chorus]
But she hung around
Baking bread for the circus
Town to town
Baking bread for the circus
Looking down
Baking bread for the circus

[Chorus]
But she hung around
Baking bread for the circus
Town to town
Baking bread for the circus
Looking down
Baking bread for the circus
