Cirkus (Including "Entry of the Chameleons")

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 timeGave 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 dawnCleaned my feet of mud, followed the empty

Zebra ride to the Cirkus

Past a painted cage, spoke to the pay box

Glove which wrote on my tonguePushed 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.V."

Making bandsmen go clockwork

See the slinky seal Cirkus policeman

Bareback ladies have fishStrongmen by his feet, plate-spinning statesman

Acrobatically juggling

Bids his tamers go quiet the tumblers

Lest the mirror stop turnin'Elephants forgot, force-fed on stale chalk

Ate the floors of their cages

Strongmen lost their hair, pay box collapsed and

Lions sharpened their teethGloves raced 'round the ring, stallions stampeded

Pandemonium seesaw

I ran for the door, ringmasters shouted

All the fun of the Cirkus
