歌词
Night, her sable dome scattered with diamonds
Fused my dust from a light year
Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon
Strung my warp across time
Gave me each horse, sunrise and graveyard
Told me only I was her
Bid ne face the east closed me in questions
Built the sky for my dawn
♪
Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
Zebra ride to the cirkus
Past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox
Glove which wrote on my tonque
Pushed me down a slide to the arena
Megaphonium fanfare
In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
Bid me join the parade
♪
"Worship", cried the clown, "I'm a TV
Making bandsmen go clockwork
See the slinky seal cirkus policeman
Bareback ladies have fish"
Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman
Accrobatically juggling
Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers
Lest the mirror stop turning
♪
Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk
Ate the floors of their cages
Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed
Lions sharpened their teeth
Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded
Pandemonium seesaw
I ran for the door, ringmaster shouted
"All the fun of the cirkus!"
