Lyrics:

(derek dick, mark kelly, steve rothery, peter trewavas, ian mosley)


On the rebound, fumbling all the lines

The light at the end of the bottle - alcoholicalphabet

Through the looking glass

The proof in my own reflection

Five senses down and reeling on the cinderella search


On the rebound, fumbling all the lines

Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim

Conversation needs translation

Three dimensions down dissolving on the cinderella search

Cinderella search


On the rebound, fumbling all the lines

Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone

Out of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette city

Only courting the homing of direction on the cinderella search

Cinderella search


But the samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken

Swam through the nicotine seize, and we exchanged the kiss of life

Resurrection in a trance, the model, the grail, in a marquee of promises I touched the dream

I hold the dream, I have the dream

To end the cinderella search

Cinderella search, oh no more, no more!


Exposing bedside manners on a work extension

Awaiting development with paranoid polaroid eyes

Polaroid eyes


The footman memorised the number

But the prince still holds both the slippers

And would you leave a palace for a bedsit

And canterbury tales

Canterbury tales?


Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase

Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe

But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?

Give me time, won't you give me that time!


Welcome back to the circus

Welcome back to the circus

Welcome back to the circus


I always use the cue sheets but never the nets

Always the cue sheets but never the nets

Never the nets, never the nets, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless


Welcome back to the circus!
