I was nothing, but the mirror of your weakness I just tried to make you laugh, to make you carry on To forget the endless, overkilling madness I loved you, everyone …
I just tried to show you, how you used to be I found the reason of my life into the children’s smile The lights were on, the kids, they kept on loving me Just for a little while …
CHORUS: Say a prayer for the clown, before the circus leaves the town And forget him as you walk out of that door! No bad feelings for the clown, he did all and never let you down Made a point and his face will not bother anymore!
I was empty, till you filled me with your laughter And my colors came to cover all your shades of grey Do you see the dance, or you just watch the dancer You’d love it anyway …
Part 2:
Every night lions are howling in the scene Acrobats gathering the success they win Then wonderfull horses and camels and elephants are coming in.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention? Here comes the world's greatest magician! “ You will freeze on your seats, just to see such a wonderful illusion! (And it's all an illusion!)
Than a man, strange looking, painted and dressed in laughter Don’t you know, that my life is the dream you’re running after My mistakes are yours and if I’m just a clown You are the others!
So, I don’t wanna see somebody crying at my grave I was free to act like you and you were the slave! You think you saw and know me, but you never even noticed what I gave!
Part 3 Standing alone in the breeze of the night, Under my makeup the tears are flowing ! Standing alone every day in the stagelight, Playing the fool, as the laughter’s growing... People around, nowhere a friend, Somebody to lend me a hand, The stars are shining down on me, The lights - they left me endlessly Alone!
Fears and pain disappeared tonight, Under my makeup the tears are hidden! Troubles are gathered, can I get up to fight? But my emotions are forbidden! I must be there, I gotta share The innocence that’s filling the air... All these people may not see Someone who is endlessly Alone!
Part 4: Menagerie
Summer nights are shining with a million stars Down beetwen the tents, the cages and the cars I can’t hear a sound: Everybody sleeps all around
I don’t know what brings me out here everynight Even when it's cloudy and there is no light Something’s wrong with me I’m talking to our menagerie .
Chorus: Menagerie, menagerie Quietly you’ll listen to me Without a word, untold, unheard I wonder can’t you see the absurd...Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
