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.....
