The Circus Is Leaving Town, by Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan
So draw the curtains down
Your secret's safe to keep
Unzip your velvet gown
And let your hair hang loose
Kick off your satine shoes
Throw back the eiderdown
Farewell to friday’s clown Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, dry your eyes Fix up something to eat
Still waters still run deep
The dogs are barking now
Get back out on the street Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes The party's over now
Stop howling at the moon
You need a different beat
You need a different tune
Remember that old song
We heard when we were young?
Life was an empty page
The world would write upon
Do you recall the meadow grass
We'd sit and watch the hours pass?
You was such a good girl then
Oh, Ruby, dry your eyes Circus is leaving town
Oh Ruby, roll your stockins down
Circus is leaving town
So Ruby, dry your eyes You’re searching when you walk
You’re searching when you talk
You could make me believe
That the sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east
The sun sets in the east

I've been out walking
