Yes, I remember, it happened in our town.
Almost everything I remember from those long years ago
happened in our town. There was no other place to be.
No other place to go. We were always there. Stuck you might say.
And so the word got out. The circus was coming to town,
And tomorrow would be the day.
But they were here already, setting up at the edge of town
In the empty field on Vance Street.
