The elephants are gone
The train left here this morn'
To a town 10 miles away
A circus family

What a crazy dream
Everywhere we've been
It don't get better
Things don't get better I'm finding
So let me be

We're cast out from the show
By an ultimatum vote
Now we're out here on our own
And we're wonderin' where to go

What a crazy dream
Everywhere we've been
It don't get better
Things don't get better I'm finding

So let me be

Popcorn everywhere and that sawdust on my hands
I know all about the big freak I am

What a crazy dream
Everywhere we've been
It don't get better
Things don't get better I'm finding
So let me be

Popcorn everywhere and that sawdust on my hands
I know all about the big freak I am (3x)

Even the horses stare
Thinkin' I'm really weird
And all a' the clowns on the engine
Been howlin' at me for years
