There’s a place down the street
That they call Circus Rêve
Where people drown their sorrows
Or gain them again

If your mind is too full
The girls that work the night
Can help you dream
Or even dream for you
-
Down at Circus Rêve
There is no one young
Old souls with young masks
Entertain and serve

Old souls with tiered masks
Greets them from the tables
Whistling without air
Laughing without joy
-
They don’t say they don’t know
They don’t say they don’t care
All they want is peace
From the world out there
And in this last resort
At least the flesh is warm
At least they can pretend
That their hearts were once alive
-
The walls are red and dusty
But the bar is kind’ a clean
And though you’ll never know the name
At least he isn’t mean

You dread to go back home again
When all you need is here
You never liked your stepdad
And your mommy doesn’t care
-
This is Circus Rêve
A place for everyone
It doesn’t ask you anything
Or what it is you’ve done

It doesn’t try to boss with you
It doesn’t make a sound
But it really takes good care of you
And loves when you’re around
It’s one oasis in this desert world
And you’re welcome anytime
It welcomes you like a long lost friend
Even if it’s your first try

It prays for you to come back soon
And it hopes that you’re alright
And that all those lonesome feelings
Will be lost in those dusty walls of Circus Rêve tonight
