| The lions roar and young men soar
|
| The flames all scorch the circus floor
|
| Puppets on strings all dance and sing
|
| And flap their wings
|
| Trumpets play sick lullabies
|
| Delicate dame, her fragile face
|
| Was scared away without a trace
|
| Out in the cold, where did she go?
|
| Into unknown, a place I’ll never know
|
| And the desperate search began
|
| All across this sea and land
|
| I just knew I’d find you here
|
| I just knew I’d find you
|
| Elephants rear and young men steer
|
| The audience just claps and cheers
|
| I asked around half-empty towns
|
| About a girl nowhere to be found
|
| And the desperate search began
|
| All across this sea and land
|
| I just knew I’d find you here
|
| I just knew I’d find you
|
| We didn’t know we could not go
|
| The circus songs just carried on
|
| Out of the crowd, three men rush out
|
| And scream and shout, «Everybody stop!» |
