The hangman's in the noose   The prisoner is loose   The wheel has come around   And the velvet curtain coming down   And left it there   A suitcase on a chair   I feel my weight   And something tells me   There's a river underground   In a place where there's no one to be found      And no one came to see   The oldest show in town   The oldest show in town   The oldest show in town      Santa's on the cross   Innocence is lost   The music's in your mind   And the windscreen wipers move in time      No one came to see   The oldest show in town   The oldest show in town      And the stranger was a ghost   The killer was a priest   Took the first excuse   Made the madness seem cute lipped   On your own you'll find your own escape   There are many ways to choose   And I don't know which one you should take   A home is all you want   On the back of a truck driving down the street   It doesn't seem so much   But it's all you need to make your life complete      No one came to see   The oldest show in town   The oldest show in town   The oldest show in town   No one came to see      I lean the slightest bit towards you   White turns into brown, light goes to black   Your eyes danced in my reflection   And the horse ate my trousers
