Now, is it uptown or downtown
Why did you come down here?
We haven't seen the likes of your blonde hair
Since we got the fear

Now, you don't need to be so violent
You don't need to be silent
You don't need to be so private
Since you took the loss

It's a love circus

Now everyone's so sad in town
And it's a long way downtown

Now, is it yellow, black or brown, or white
Why did you come down here
We haven't seen anyone dead like you
Since a war was near

Now, you don't need that chipped shoulder
You don't need that business folder
You don't need to get any bolder
If it's business time,

Cause it's a love circus

Now, is it uptown or downtown
Is it Chinatown or Funkytown
You got a price that is not so nice
You got demise written on your mind

And the heat they all know you
And the heat would like to catch you
And the heat always knew the crew was due
On you,

And it's a Love Circus

Now, everyone's so sad in town
And it's a long way downtown
