Awkward Stage (The) - The Circus Ends In Tears (Pachrymosa) lyrics

rate me

Soft and tranquil eyes have the elephant He's been tranquillized beneath the circus tent The public and the prod are unforgiving and links of shackle chain seem to be giving in For a caravan of years, they've such a memory The circus ends in tears, but such a memory And it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears Into the lions gaping maw, the tamers' head it goes There's a jungle law, one day that jaw will close Everybody knows the risk this job can pose It's the life he chose, it is the show of shows And the last thing that he hears is the echoes of their cheers The circus ends in tears, but still echoes of their cheers And it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears, it ends in tears. Balanced on their balls, the dancing bears start mauling Children of all ages are dragged into the cages The rigging and the staging destroyed in the rampaging The circus ends in tears, the circus ends in tears. The circus ends in tears, the circus ends in tears The circus ends in tears, in tears, in tears
