King Crimson - Cirkus Lyrics

Send "Cirkus" ringtone to your cell

Night: her sable dome scattered with diamonds

Fused my dust from a light year

Squeezed me to her breast sowed me with carbon

Strung my warp across time

Gave me each a horse sunrise and graveyard

Told me only i was her;

Bid me face the east closed me in questions

Built the sky for my dawn . . .

Cleaned my feet of mud followed the empty

Zebra ride to the cirkus

Past a painted cage spoke to the paybox

Glove which wrote on my tongue-

Pushed me down a slide to the arena

Megaphonium fanfare.

In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster

Bid me join the parade . . .

"worship!" cried the clown "i am a t.i.

Making bandsmen go clockwork

See the slinky seal cirkus policeman;

Bareback ladies have fish."

Strongmen by his feet plate-spinning statesman

Acrobatically juggling-

Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers

Lest the mirror stop turning . . .

Elephants forgot force-fed on stale chalk

Ate the floors of their cages.

Strongmen lost their hair paybox collapsed and

Lions sharpened their teeth.

Gloves raced round the ring stallions stampeded

Pandemonium seesaw . . .

I ran for the door ringmasters shouted

"all the fun of the cirkus!"
