Circus

[Verse 1]
Animals in cages
People stand and stare
Outside looking in
Confidentially, it's gotten worse
Inside this cage the pacing's gotten worse

[Verse 2]
The lion tamer's art
Whip against the will
Has shattered the calm
A broken mind and body in the dark

[Verse 3]
The beauty on the trapeze
She stayed quiet above it all
Her lover on the floor
Had been there once or twice before

[Bridge]
[?spoken French]

[Verse 4]
The robot decides
I think we found the perfect replacement this time
The leading role in this pantomime
