about

a song for our circus man. long may he reign.

lyrics

come see the circus man, you’ll want to take a look
come see the circus man, he’s got you on his hook
he’s got baubles, he’s got trinkets,
he’s got cards hid up his sleeve
once you step into his circus, dear
then you won’t want to leave

‘cause he eats life
he eats life
knows the taste of pain and pleasure
knows the bit of love and strife
he’ll drink up all your stories
and he’ll pour some of his own
you decide if you believe him
but you’ll never drink alone

come see the empty man with dirt caked on his tongue
come see the empty man, he’s only two years young
he’s got blood that flows with magic
he’s got eyes carved in his skin
(we are soon to see his ending
but we don’t know where he begins)

so he eats life
he eats life
pain and pleasure push aside the void
and boredom’s like a knife
by chance he finds a family
so he loves them as his own
and no matter what the circumstance
they’ll never drink alone

come see the circus man before he breathes his last
he knows his angel’s missing, knows the danger hasn’t passed
he takes a risk to save her
(it’s all borrowed time, he knows)
now he stares into the face of death
with eyes that never close
