Lyrics:

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!'
