Stunned & Frozen

歌詞

Tragedy at the circus The trapeze artist fell And the crowd scattered and ran He got up walking Had nowhere to go He was staring at the ground The rain has passed over Leaving him high and staring into the river Like his home was in the frozen water That's turning rings around him Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing Stunned and frozen Stunned and frozen The streets and trees and the headlights Are more nails hammering in a coffin Excuses for boundaries that pull you apart Coming undone, invisible with fear The rain has passed over Leaving him high and staring into the roaring river Like home was in the frozen water That's turning rings around him Ringing and ringing and ringing and ringing Stunned and frozen Stunned and frozen Some hours after midnight he threw his watch away Time is thin as a rope And heavy as thunder If I get sick like an animal Giving up the ghost With thoughts of Christmas and Burl Ives And no wonder The rain has passed over The sky is clear with wind And I'm a pearl diver Tell the cops I was looking for pearls in the water Saying goodbye with nothing to discover Stunned and frozen Stunned and frozen Beautiful Europeans sitting outside drinking desserts Only a fool carries around the burden of justice Excuse me, can I sit at your table? I'm an expert in lifelike impressions Though I know something is always lost in the translation The rain has passed over The sky is clear with wind and I'm a pearl diver Tell the cops I saw pearls in the water Saying goodbye with nothing to discover Stunned and frozen Stunned and frozen
