What are you building down there in the dark? |
| [00:10.01] |
Every night alone under candle light and spark |
| [00:13.63] |
concealed in the ting tang of metals |
| [00:17.83] |
and the melting of steel |
| [00:19.92] |
If something should go wrong |
| [00:22.13] |
we will have to carry you away |
| [00:26.14] |
our only son. |
| [00:27.82] |
|
| [00:32.15] |
Ladies and gentlemen |
| [00:34.34] |
may I present to you not a lion in a cage |
| [00:38.35] |
not a juggler or swallower of blades |
| [00:41.71] |
but the Human Cannonball. |
| [00:46.81] |
|
| [01:13.38] |
My sister was an acrobat |
| [01:15.64] |
an artist of the swings |
| [01:17.38] |
My father tamed the beasts |
| [01:19.09] |
and was the master of the three circus rings |
| [01:23.47] |
When my brother walked the tight rope |
| [01:25.60] |
no one made a sound |
| [01:27.58] |
but he tumbled in the spotlight |
| [01:29.67] |
Echoes cried when he hit the ground |
| [01:33.82] |
We'll miss you |
| [01:35.68] |
|
| [01:39.65] |
I am the Human Cannonball |
| [01:43.70] |
not a lion in your cage |
| [01:46.05] |
not a juggler or swallower of blades |
| [01:49.36] |
I will fly to painted stars |
