From the recording Well Dear...that went quick
Lyrics
the greatest show - since the day you were born / how they had plans for yourself / everything was there for the taking / setting records an ocean blue / you were a star in the making /no scene for the faking / where it go so wrong? / what happened to the bird of song? / crowds flocked near and wide / you were Daddies pride / you really let them know / you were the greatest show / now its all embarrassing / its true you’ve seen better better days / the crowd now just shakes its head / and says my god you had it made / now its just easy to stay in bed / and wait for the fade / crowds flocked near and wide / you were Daddies pride / you really let them know / you were the greatest show / you cant take it anymore / you lost everything you had / your life is a circus and it so so so sad / everyone is laughing / they are laughing at you / here comes your last stand but you haven't got a clue / Crowds flocked near and wide / You were Daddies pride / you really let them know / you were the greatest show
