The Average Circus - Paco del Stinko

Crimson ribbons stream in the air
Crunching cartilege fistfuls of hair
Screams of torment and laughter at rain
Flicker light hallways echo the pain

And every day is the same

Broken wires dropping the ball
Fearful and lazy avoiding the call
Crawling uphill on a flat plane
Youthful and vigorous tired and lame
*
And every day is the same*

The show never ends - The tents don't come down
See the screw eater smiling - Watch the elepahant drown
Fire breathing un-noticed - Tie a rope 'round your neck
Giant monster goes floating - An anonymous speck
And we all see it happen
But we're no longer laughing

Speaking Swahili as secret code
Chair in the dark to hide eyes when closed
Cereal, crackers, and ginger Champagne
Freedom from misery open a vein
*
And every day is the same*
