Ellis Paul

Ellis Paul (born Paul Plissey; January 14, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter and folk musician. Born in Aroostook County, Maine, Paul is a key figure in what has become known as the Boston school of songwriting, a literate, provocative and urbanely romantic folk-pop style that helped ignite the folk revival of the 1990s. His pop music songs have appeared in movies and on television, bridging the gap between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger. more »

 Struggling with Thin Man? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

I've been avoiding the circus
Afraid the trapeze might fall down
You say the fall will not hurt us
Cause the net stands apart from the ground 

[Chorus]
So there you go for the rings
Legs entwined and circling
Height of the backside swing
Arms reaching beckoning me

But I am the thin man
All skin and bones
Am I qualified for the job?
Or better off alone 
Sleeping in a bed of leaves
Scarecrow where all the birds are thieves
Meanwhile, back at the circus
You seeing as the pendulum flies
Watched by ten thousand eyes

 Struggling with Thin Man? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
