Krista Detor, Paradiso: 'Mudshow' (Mudshow)

'Mudshow' (Mudshow)(w/intro to 'Robert Johnson Has Left Miss.' at the end of the video.) Lyrics:

Started out a sailor, I got the draft at eighteen
Never got anywhere near any war like the kind some people seen
Twenty years later I ran away from home
Long run of bad luck I found myself all alone

Didn't leave a note, left the kitchen light on
Went and joined the circus to paint a happy face on

Didn't know nothing 'bout no tightrope walkin',
Too big for a clown car
They handed me a shovel and they didn't ask questions,
Led me to the trailers, lookin' at my future

And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin' mud show
And this side of the big top, time moves slow
Stuck in the belly of a travellin' mud show

There's an ugly clown with big blue hair and red-ringed eyes
Has a lot of fun orderin' me around though I'm
twice his size (and I could kick his ass)

There's a pretty flier up on the trapeze
Wrote her a poem and now she won't look at me

Brought my boombox and I brought my CDs
Brought my toolbox cause it comes in handy
Sweeping the bleachers, a plastic graveyard of
Novelties and sticky gray cotton candy

Got some pictures in my wallet and I look at them occasionally
When I had a drink or two I look at who I used to be

Heard one of the handlers broke into a pharmacy
Head over later to see what he's got for me to... take the edge off

The wheel of death is turning and the wheel walker fakes a fall
Wish that they were faking when the car crash took 'em all
Wish that he was faking when the cop made the phone call
