king crimson - cirkus (elemental mix) lyrics

[verse 1]
night, her sable dome scattered with diamonds
fused my dust from a light year
squeezed me to her breast, sewed 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

[verse 2]
cleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty
zebra ride to the cirkus
past a painted cage, spoke to thе paybox
glove which wrote on my tongue
pushеd me down a slide to the arena
megaphonium fanfare
in his cloak of words strode the ringmaster
bid me join the parade

[verse 3]
“worship” cried the clown, “i am a tv
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
[verse 4]
elephants forgot, force+fed on stale chalk
ate the floors of their cages
strongmen lost their hair, paybox collapsed
and lions sharpened their t++th
gloves raced ’round the ring, stallions stampeded
pandemonium seesaw
i ran for the door, ringmasters shouted
“all the fun of the cirkus”
