I'm falling under I've been sinking in the yard   Here in the circus of stars   We jump through hoops and fire   It's not that hard      We've been rehearsing for years   I've beat down all of my fears   It's harder than it appears   When from the audience applause and cheers   Pain and souvenirs   Listen to the sound effects from all my peers      I'm sinking faster   There's a long sad way to go   These clowns are stealing the show   They'll rob you blind and you will never know   We'll always orbit that sphere   Once every ten thousand years   Three rings and planets from here   When all the voyagers and pioneers have all disappeared   Lost between the empty space they're nowhere near      Endangered and the strange   Are being fed and caged   With bits and pieces of the same old show   The tamer's getting old   She plays a lot of roles   By now her feet are getting so cold      Having a meltdown out in the ring   Having a meltdown out in the ring   Having a meltdown out in the ring   Having a meltdown out in the ring      I'm falling under   I've been sinking in the yard   Here in the circus of stars.....
