Wanderer's Triumphant Return

Hey now, gather round the firelight glow Spin the tale of fools we all know Big hats wear the shiny gold chains Talking tall while hiding their pains Pockets full from tricks in the night Promising dreams, stealing the light They dance on stages, wave empty hands Building tall towers on shifting sands Oh, the mayor with his fancy new ride Says he's for the people but full of operators The port-a-feast, like a king we clap and we cheer What a funny thing, lady in silk Nose up in the air, conjecture from mud Pretends she's so rare Aye, aye, aye, stomp your feet high Aye, aye, aye, laugh till you cry Tap, tap, spin round, let the truth fly Aye, aye, aye, fools in disguise Aye, aye, aye, stomp your feet high Round and round the merry-go-lie Chasing shadows under the sky Grinning wide at the grand charade Social circus, ain't it a parade? Hey-ho, hey-ho Join the fun satires Dancing everyone Banker counts coins with a serpent smile Lends to the needy, then takes it in style Preacher on pulpit, eyes on the plate D-souls for silver seals their fate They strut like peacocks Feathers so fine But under the sun, they're not Beneath just rags and twine Thread the world from her squeaky chair Mirrors cracked, but she don't care Kids on the corner selling their shine Dreaming of riches, losing their time Aye, aye, aye, feet hit the ground Aye, aye, aye, joy all around Clap, clap, turn fast, shake the crown Aye, aye, aye, bring it down Round and round the merry-go-lie Chasing shadows under the sky Grinning wide at the grand charade Social circus, ain't it a parade? Hey-ho, hey-ho Join the fun satires Dancing everyone So lift your voice in the joyful call Mock the mighty, watch them all fall Hey-ho, the laughter won't end In this wild spin We're all just friends Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
