letra de circle - chuck brodsky

i don’t mind sleeping in the straw
or washing in the pony’s trough
and i don’t miss the life i left
i’ve no regrets for running off
there’s endless work behind the scenes
it’s dirty and it’s hard
i spend far more time in ripped up jeans
than in my sequined leotard
but nights when everything goes right
i stand in a circle of heat and light
and i have the power to change the dreams
of everyone in this shabby tent
make them believe, if not in magic,  in money well spent

i’m not the best in the business
but i earn my applause
there are risks you know, these tigers have t–th
but no claws
and right away i was so good with them
i never thought of going back
i could smell the anger in their sweat
i could coax them to attack
and nights when everything goes right
they leap through a circle of heat and light
with the power to change the dreams
of everyone in this shabby tent
make them believe, if not in magic,  in money well spent

we were driven out of beaumont
when the lazy “j” complained
and we tore her down, packed her up
in a stubborn texas rain
and standing by the trailers
while the dogs and roosters load
i think about a dark-eyed poet
i met along the road
but nights when everything goes right
i stand in a circle of heat and light
and i have the power to change the dreams
of everyone in this shabby tent
make them believe  in magic
