He does the best like the minstrels didJust to please the kids and keep the people laughingBut no one knows that beneath the clothesAnd his turned up nose loves a lonely beggar Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
Life is a three ring circusAll of the ups and downs of a carouselThat I know so well Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
He needs the love that can't be foundBut you're just too blind to seeThat the clown is really me Blue Magic - Three-Ring Circus (lyrics) 1974 1080p
The song is characterized by lead singer Ted Mills' soaring falsetto, telling the story of a man who puts on a "happy face" for the world while suffering internally.
