The lions roar
And young men soar
The flames all scorch
The circus floor Puppets on strings
All dance and sing
And flap their wings
Trumpets play sick lullabies Delicate dame
Her fragile face
Was scared away
Without a trace Out in the cold
Where did she go?
Into unknown
A place I'll never know And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you... Elephants rear
And young men sneer
The audience
Just claps and cheers I asked around
Half-empty towns
About a girl
Nowhere to be found And the desperate search began
All across this sea and land
I just knew I'd find you here
I just knew I'd find you... We didn't know
We could not go
The circus songs
Just carried on Out of the crowd
Three men rush out
And scream and shout
"Everybody stop!"
