I have never liked the circus,
I find them very cruel.
Bears on unicycles,
Do nothing for me at all,
Or the bear come to that
And that's a fact
Lion tamers that use whips,
Trying to take command
Of the king of the jungle,
Is more than I can stand
Performing dogs, jumping fleas,
Why do we need to torture these
Poor creatures in this way.
Do we take pleasure in this,
Or does it pay,
The circus to exploit and say
"They're only animals anyway"

He was pedaling in my direction,
His feet never losing control.
His age? 9 or 10 I am guessing,
But his confidence lit up his soul.
We locked eyes for the briefest of seconds.
I was grinning and though he held back,
I could tell that the hint of a smile
Was just busting to peek out a crack.
For he had to know that he was special –
You don’t see unicycles each day –
But the streets of New York do encourage
Every talent one has to display.

There is a place where children stay
in a virtual Neverland,
where it's safe for them to play.
Happiness at their command
and broccoli that tastes like cheese
in a virtual Neverland.
Clouds that you can grab and squeeze
that taste just like marshmallows
and broccoli that tastes like cheese.
Lots of laughing funny fellows
riding unicycles and juggling balls
that taste just like marshmallows.
They giggle so hard they trip and fall
and they never ever get hurt
riding unicycles and juggling balls.
It's important that I reassert,
there is a place where children stay
and they never ever get hurt
where it's safe for them to play.

Life is a tightrope act
And we were suckered
Into using unicycles
No training
No balance
Can't ride
Can't walk
No balance
Will certainly fall
The crowd cheers,
Or maybe jeers?
They can't catch you
Clowns point and wave
All a joke
They'll not even try to save
So very glad the Ringmaster
Foresaw this deadly disaster
I'm not the least afraid,
(It's really His display)
And I can even sing,
For God gave me wings

were at a quilted crossroad
why not lie there with me
and watch paper unicycles go by while listening to owl city
this doesnt feel real but i knew it was when a teardrop escaped from your cry
but luckily it fell and i caught it in the palm of my hand just in time
and right there you lay your pouted lips on mine and suddenly it felt like i was in
summertime
it didnt feel like we were in a situation
i felt like we fell in love at the right destination
coz all our thoughts blew away with the wind
and then it felt like we couldnt lose the slot machine tripled win
and all that could have happened was if time froze
and on your body lay a rose
coz then its sleep time and the scene is set for a quilted crossroad....
