Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise
Sirens screaming in the heat
Neon cuts the eye
As the jester sighs
At the world beneath his feetIt's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
In the darkness of the night
To a distant fading lightBalanced on their knives
Little parts of lives
Such a strange reality
Kill the unicorn
Just to have its horn
Soon he's just a fantasyIt's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading lightThe jester takes his bows
Slips into the crowd
As the actors fade away
Another death to mourn
Another child is born
Another chapter in the playIt's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading lightIt's a gutter ballet
A gutter ballet
Oh a gutter ballet
Oh a gutter ballet, yeah
