Paul O'Neill - Gutter Ballet lyrics

Another sleepless night A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality k** the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he's just a fantasy It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another d**h to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light
