Four Mile Circus - And the Band Plays Street Rag Lyrics

Knock knock twice to get in the door
Enter the alley by somersault
And then the pins they hit the floor
And then you come down, come down
Fleeting halo of chalky haze
Cloud of powder dissipates
And then you come down, come down

Pain in my heart
Hides in the mask
Playing the part
While they're saying come down, come down
Saying come down, come down
And the last song
Goes on too long
Patience as the emergency starts
And the band plays Street Rag

Painted smiles no two alike
It's a drunken pantomime
When there's a pause in the show
Time for us to go! Go! Go!
And then we come down, come down

Pain in my heart
Hides in the mask
Playing the part
While they're saying come down, come down
Saying come down, come down
And the last song
Goes on too long
Patience as the emergency starts
And the band plays Street Rag

And the last song
Goes on too long
Patience as the emergency starts
And the band plays Street Rag
Come down, come down

Pain in my heart
Hides in the mask
Playing the part
While they're saying come down, come down
Saying come down, come down
And the last song
Goes on too long
Street Rag hides wrong
Come down, come down
