If you see a dancing bear wearing sexy underwear
it’s not a dream
If you see the bearded lady breastfeed a bearded baby
it’s no dream

You see them sway a little, slowly drift away a little,
overhear them say a Little prayer to their queen

There is no Circus in this town
but everybody is a clown,
it’s not a dream
When you watch them strike their poses
just imagine the red noses,
it’s no dream

You wonder how they keep their troops
to keep jumping through the hoops,
it’s not a dream
Come let us dance a little, drift into a trance a little,
swiftly to advance a little into the machine
You’ll feel it beat you up a little, slowly eat you up a little,
but it’s not a dream

Welcome to the bazaar,
we have everything bizarre and entertaining
If you’d like to be a star,
wunderbar: it doesn’t take much training

Just arch your back a little, and show your teeth a little
and show the people you can them what they need
If you succeed a little you will come to see your little life as
just a dream…

  Don’t tell the pope that I’ve been dancing with his wife
– it’s just a dream.
Don’t tell the reaper I intend to take his life
- it’s just a dream.

  Don’t tell the Lord that I’m about to steal the light
- It’s just a dream.

Don’t tell the people who’s been causing all their strife
– it’s just a dream.
