Darkness Comes the Sideshow

from Parade Music 
 
Hard at a game of mumbly-peg
The monkey sat and I
Ratty hearted I

Petty thefts and petty lies
Cowardice and pride
Bold false pride.

Where in all those afternoons
Were the flutes of the circus men
the tight rope men?

To take and make this little lout
A circus man or clown
'fore luck ran down
