Lyrics
[Verse 1] Night, her sable dome scattered with diamonds Fused my dust from a light year Squeezed me to her breast, sewed me with carbon Strung my warp across time Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard Told me only I was her Bid me face the east, closed me in questions Built the sky for my dawn [Verse 2] Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty Zebra ride to the Cirkus Past a painted cage, spoke to thе paybox Glove which wrote on my tongue Pushеd me down a slide to the arena Megaphonium fanfare In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster Bid me join the parade [Verse 3] "Worship" cried the clown, "I am a TV Making bandsmen go clockwork See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman Bareback ladies have fish" Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman Acrobatically juggling Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers Lest the mirror stop turning [Verse 4] Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk Ate the floors of their cages Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed And lions sharpened their teeth Gloves raced 'round the ring, stallions stampeded Pandemonium seesaw I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted "All the fun of the Cirkus"
