I'm falling under i've been sinking in the yard Here in the circus of stars We jump through hoops and fire It's not that hard We've been rehearsing for years I've beat down all of my fears It's harder than it appears When from the audience applause and cheers Pain and souvenirs Listen to the sound effects from all my peers I'm sinking faster There's a long sad way to go These clowns are stealing the show They'll rob you blind and you will never know We'll always orbit that sphere Once every ten thousand years Three rings and planets from here When all the voyagers and pioneers have all disappeared Lost between the empty space they're nowhere near Endangered and the strange Are being fed and caged With bits and pieces of the same old show The tamer's getting old She plays a lot of roles By now her feet are getting so cold Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring Having a meltdown out in the ring I'm falling under I've been sinking in the yard Here in the circus of stars.....
