The Flying Trapeze (1867)

歌詞

As you look into an invisible landscape And the waves of time part behind your back As your life crumbles and turns into fiction And the end of it becomes a fact The ghosts of children will run in your garden And play with an imaginary ball You will be released and pardoned Now there's nowhere left to fall Chorus good bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Now fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly fly A steam rises out of the water And a mist hangs over the field The tears of your wife and daughter Have all but released their yield The ghosts of lovers will walk toward you And beckon you into their arms And the mighty bells of chaos Will no longer sound their alarms Chorus repeat (plus way way way way way) Shake off your carcass leave us in the dark That's us fumbling 'round like ants on the ground In palaces and hovels reading mystery novels But we never get the plot maybe you got it now Shake that mortal coil leave us to toil Take off that weight take off that weight Listen to the silence know the end of violence Is a clean slate is a clean slate Chorus repeat
