Lyrics

[00:08.33] Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds
[00:11.31] Fused my dust from a light year
[00:16.67] Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon
[00:20.06] Strung my warp across time
[00:25.07] Gave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard
[00:28.96] Told me only I was her
[00:32.20] Bid me face the east, closed me in questions
[00:35.36] Built the sky for my dawn
[00:39.10]
[00:56.11] Cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
[00:59.26] Zebra ride to the Cirkus
[01:04.67] Past a painted cage, spoke to the paybox
[01:07.70] Glove which wrote on my tongue
[01:12.97] Pushed me down a slide to the arena
[01:16.25] Megaphonium fanfare
[01:19.45] In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
[01:22.79] Bid me join the parade
[01:26.28]
[01:55.69] "Worship!" cried the clown, "I am a T.V
[01:58.85] Making bandsmen go clockwork
[02:03.37] See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman
[02:07.09] Bareback ladies have fish"
[02:11.99] Strongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman
[02:15.44] Acrobatically juggling
[02:18.96] Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers
[02:22.07] Lest the mirror stop turning
[02:25.34]
[03:21.95] Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk
[03:25.19] Ate the floors of their cages
[03:29.40] Strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed and
[03:33.36] Lions sharpened their teeth
[03:37.86] Gloves raced round the ring, stallions stampeded
[03:41.12] Pandemonium seesaw
[03:44.50] I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted
[03:47.48] "All the fun of the Cirkus!"
