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.....
