"The White Tops" lyrics

I was following the white tops
I was chasing my dreams
I was working the trapeze and the trampoline
I was in love with the girl at the freak show
She was in love with a prominent clown
We were dazzling fans in a dusty town

I was a stranger in a real world with a permanent frown
I found a family now I follow the white tops
All the way down
Do you love me now

She never bragged at the jackpot
But she pulled me in
When she smiled my way every now and then
I was drawn to the magnetic lady
I was the flyer in the matinée
I felt the catcher's fingertips slip away

I was a stranger in a real world with a permanent frown
I found a family now I follow the white tops
All the way down
Do you love me now

Tied one on with the carnies
Wound up tying my noose
To the corner of the safety net
Where the rope came loose

Now I'm following white tops
All the way down
Do you love me now
Do you love me now
Do you love me now

I was a stranger in a real world with a permanent frown
I was in love with the feeling of falling down
Do you love me now
Do you love me now
Do you love me now
Do you love me now
Do you love me now
