[Verse 1]
Up the street & down the alley,
past the houses
I found you calling out;
There were neon lights glowing above me
& people gathered round to raise their arms and voices going
"Oooooh
Ooooh"
I saw the message etched on the building:
We live in times we never thought we'd see
& all the while
That tick tape running,
I could swear he smiled and laughing at me
He was asking,
[Chorus]
"Is there anybody left to trust
in this electric circus?
Has it taken what is best of us,
This electric circus?"
[Verse 2]
The words I said had lost their meaning
& what I saw was harder to believe
& the neon lights still glowed above me
Something's going on but we can't tell if it's
right or wrong.
[Chorus]
"Is there anybody left to trust
in this electric circus?
Has it taken what is best of us,
This electric circus?"
[Outro]
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
I thought I knew you
