Hoelderlin - Circus lyrics

Coloured walls, they promise us a world of magic, filled with delights "The greatest show on earth" "Presents for you, thrills on the high wire, music, laughter Acts of daring tonight in the big top" Nightmares and foolish apes dressed up like who*es Throw with a smile coloured rain in your eyes Clowns are tumbling in the sand Lions risk their lives in the tamer's mouth Strong man, fighting up so high Balancing on the wire leading to illusions And Bernie the bear is dancing around Tells very shy the story of Mr. High And Herta the horse like a hell driver's girl Is losing her live every night And when the show comes to its end Clowns, animals and acrobats Clasp each other happily in their arms They slip off their costumes and masks And Steve the elephant kisses Petra the zebra on her neck And caresses her, and caresses her...
