I am back in the circus

Oh hustling days

I look at the world

In a rose coloured haze

Cramp tight bodies

Jive and girate

Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate

And we spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day.

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world.

Married a model

From old hong kong

Came to england

Just a singing my song

This love in a letter

Sure didn't last

Stamped her passport

Never saw her arse.

And we spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day.

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world.

[Solo]

Unlucky in life,

Unlucky in love

No special blessing from above

Fools and horses

Come to my door

I am the stranger

Who sleeps on the floor.

We spun in the sunlight

Of our long summers day

We kissed the heavens now

It's still a beautiful day.

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world.

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

My hammer headed friends

And the puppet girls call

Back on my wall

Shadow dancer

The dance is coming back,

Back in my world.
