Circus Paradise

Down the river where the children play Swimming splashing all the day I used to remember my past How time could have changed too fast Down the city when there were only few lights Now the city has turned wild like a circus night I must have gone too long Things change like something has gone wrong Where those pretty people go Where they used to wave, they used to smile at me Where are the candy shop and the theatre? When we would stand in line to watch the new show I feel like being in a bunker too long Leaving this town and hiding for nothing I remembered my first love Now it’s gone and I wasted my time in regret Now it’s like a ghost town People walking like zombies, doing their business No trees with leaves just buildings everywhere Just memories of beautiful past I remembered about this place All gone…. Nothing’s left behind No more love…. In this crowded town All flushed…. Beneath these new faces No more peacefulness…. When your town has turn into a circus paradise
