Magnum (band) - Phantom of Paradise Circus lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a room it's all broke and tattered Where they say someone died And the girl she ain't sure what happened So she thinks she's alive [Chorus 1] Hey come and walk the wire with me Right to the other side Yeah come and walk the wire with me Eyes really open wide [Verse 2] But night after night she's still walking alone The ghost of a memory once so well known Though no-one can think of her real name She still hears the sound of the crowd in vain [Chorus 2] Rising up on a white horse she came Every night she would ride Deep in touch with her Zodiac signs And her Indian guide There was magic in the air Danger followed behind She appeared in a circle of flame And the ringmaster cried [Bridge] It's a place, that's too long forgotten Though you'll still hear the sounds But the flower will no longer blossom And no people come round [Chorus 1] She's walking on the wire again A wave to greet them all She's walking on the wire again Don't know she's gonna fall [Verse 3] But no-one's aware that she's trapped there in time She still keeps repeating the very same line Yeah find me a preacher with tales to tell I'll – I'll show him something to ring his bell [Bridge] Standing up there like a shadow Dressed in scarlet and in gold Standing waiting for the moment A story forever to be told [Chorus 2] Rising up on a white horse she came Every night she would ride Deep in touch with her Zodiac signs And her Indian guide There was magic in the air Danger followed behind She appeared in a circle of flame And the ringmaster cried
