King Crimson

Night, her sable dome scattered with diamonds<br /> Fused my dust from a light year<br /> Squeezed me to her breast, sowed me with carbon<br /> Strung my warp across timeGave me each a horse, sunrise and graveyard<br /> Told me only I was her<br /> Bid me face the east closed me in questions<br /> Built the sky for my dawnCleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty<br /> Zebra ride to the Cirkus<br /> Past a painted cage, spoke to the pay box<br /> Glove which wrote on my tonguePushed me down a slide to the arena<br /> Megaphonium fanfare<br /> In his cloak of words strode the ringmaster<br /> Bid me join the parade"Worship" cried the clown, "I am a T.V."<br /> Making bandsmen go clockwork<br /> See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman<br /> Bareback ladies have fishStrongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman<br /> Acrobatically juggling<br /> Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers<br /> Lest the mirror stop turnin'Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk<br /> Ate the floors of their cages<br /> Strongmen lost their hair, pay box collapsed and<br /> Lions sharpened their teethGloves raced 'round the ring, stallions stampeded<br /> Pandemonium seesaw<br /> I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted<br /> All the fun of the Cirkus<br /> <br /> Songwriters<br /> SINFIELD, PETER JOHN / FRIPP, ROBERTPublished by<br /> Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing GroupLyrics provided by TANCODEhttps://damnlyrics.com/" readonly=""/>
