Things get interesting for our hero.

lyrics

now hear this the ringmaster's gone
he has been relieved
the kid will be around to put you in the book
do not be deceived!
gather up your trumpets gather up your wits
you're leading the parade
the lord is coming down the telephone line saying
do not be afraid
bring all my children up to heaven

tiny and me and the kid makes three
apples in the fall
I cleaned all the cages I gathered up the gate
and I caught the cannonball
there's a fire on the midway you shouted to the wind
you said "take me when you go"
well there's always a place for a winchester girl
in a wild west show
just take your bullets to the strongman

someone lit a fire on the stock car floor
started up a stampede open up the door
circus train rolling on the sarasota shore
with otis at the wheel

faster faster faster faster faster
can you hear the singing?
now we're grinding up the gears, there's a fire in the box
the bells are ringing
Tiny is a goner the boy ain't no good
that leaves me and you
locomotive screaming through the okaloosa woods
tell me--what you gonna do?
when this train is lifted up to heaven...

someone lit a match on the stock car floor
started up a stampede opened up the door
hundred miles an hour on the Sarasota shore
with otis at the wheel
