Circus of Your Mind (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

I've heard enough, you're losing your mind
You're speaking in riddles and the riddles don't rhyme
You want flying children, up there on the stage
Dogs wearing aprons and boys who don't age
You say I will adore it
But I'm paying for it
A little more reality and less of this insanity
How am I gonna face it
Such a disgrace, yet
Here we go again and again and again
You are living on a merry go round and round you seem to go
And I'll never understand why
You want people floating weightlessly
Ceilings where the floor should be
These are now the things you will find
In the circus of your mind

I've resigned myself to spend all my life
To be all the things one expects from a wife
Your imagination is where you reside
Though my invitation has never arrived
Darling though you try
You cannot deny
She's on every single page of your journal, James
Now we have to face it
Such a disgrace, yet
There you go again and again and again
It's like living on a merry go round and round we seem to go
Yet, I never seem to know why
I'm hearing people whisper quietly
Friends are now avoiding me
It's over, I'm leaving you behind
To the circus of your mind

There has been nothing but trouble and strife
Ever since you came in to this family's life
So much disruption the children don't need
And as for my daughter, I must intercede
Everything about you
They can do without you
Take flights of fantasy
I quesiton your morality
I told them to ignore you
Now I must implore you
Leave them alone, stay away, we all know
You are living on a merry go round and round you seem to go
Understand that we have no time
For the circus of your mind
The clock is ticking James!

Bad form, bad form
Laughingstock of London
Spare us your crocodile tears, Mr. Barrie

Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock

An island, children who are fairies?
That man is a grownup behaving like a boy

(Weeeee)

It's like living on a merry go round and round you seem to go
No one ever seems to know why
We're doing everything that we can do
To get it through to you
Try to make you see but you're blind
In the circus of your mind

In the circus
In the circus
In the circus of your mind
