(Mark Hollis Ian Curnow)

One by one

Every courtesy is gone

And the show begins

Bring on the clowns

Pain is quiet

I've laughed at silence

For the last time

Let the show begin

For the last time

Sometimes one

Sometimes each of us is wrong

But the show begins

Bring on the clowns

Blind to reason

These eyes are dreaming

For the last time

Let the show begin

For the last time

Let the show begin

Bring on the clowns

Smiling sweetly

Doubt may leave me

For the last time

Let the show begin

For the last t

ime

Let the show begin

For the last time
