Lyrics for 'Cirkus' by 'King Crimson'
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 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 . . .
Cleaned My Feet Of Mud, Followed The Empty
Zebra Ride To The Cirkus,
Past A Painted Cage, Spoke To The Paybox
Glove Which Wrote On My Tongue-
Pushed 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.i.
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 . . .
Elephants Forgot, Force-fed On Stale Chalk,
Ate The Floors Of Their Cages.
Strongmen Lost Their Hair, Paybox Collapsed And
Lions Sharpened Their Teeth.
Gloves Raced Round The Ring, Stallions Stampeded
Pandemonium Seesaw . . .
I Ran For The Door, Ringmasters Shouted,
"all The Fun Of The Cirkus!"
