The Strongest Man In The Universe
(oehler)
Once the main attraction
Now just another clown
Following this production
as it packs up and leaves this town
The strongest man in the universe
I’m not as strong as I once believed
Thought I could hold the world together
but my strength failed
This sideshow’s closing
and I stand in the rain
another lonely attraction
everyting lost, little to gain
The strongest man in the universe
I’m not as strong as I once believed
Thought I could hold my life together
but my strength failed
Watching the performers
I once was one of them
hiding all my weaknesses
I’m an actor til the end
The strongest man in the universe
I’m not as strong as I once believed
Thought I could hold it all together
but my strength failed.
