Circus and its Clowns

Driving home back to my bed
An old Zombies-song, stuck in my head
I’m going manic and I know you can’t stand it so…
I’m on my own now

Summer arrives and the air is soft
Mind is open but the words they’re lost
And I’ll give this one more chance
Before I head for exams and the…
Easy way out…

Tonight I’m better off alone
Tonight I’m so much better off alone

Following night and there they are
Same old people queue the same old bar
And they were wasted at eight, now they’re hardly awake
But it’s not my problem

And that band they sing “Higher and Higher”
But in my view they’re just stuck in the wire
With the same old tunes and the same old attitude
…I don’t mean to be rude, but

Tonight I’m better off alone
Tonight I’m better off alone
Tonight I’m better off alone…with the songs that I sing
They keep me company, they keep me company

People listen, may I be excused
It’s been a long time since I felt amused
By this Circus and its Clowns and the talking parrots
Who always repeat themselves; yes they always repeat themselves

But as I said I will give this a chance
Might not be as stupid as at first glance
And I’ve got a friend, he says he’ll get me a job
And there’s this man who says he likes our songs but…

Tonight I’m better off alone
Tonight I’m better off alone
Alone, but it doesn’t mean that somthing is wrong
Tonight I’m better off
Tonight I’m better off
Tonight I’m better off…alone
