The Performers' Tent & Mortus The Bum
What was that ? Just take a look;
it seems weve got ourselves a congregation
Stop that knocking ! All this work and yet they keep from flocking .
Every single day in here is all the same to me,
but things are looking up
since youve arrived
Places ! Places ! Performers just try and keep these people in their seats !
Up here onlookers - the tight rope rigid, fixed as perfect annulus
Ill find the time to breathe when I fall .
Well get that cleaned up shortly, weve got our cemetery in the back .
Ill admit to a rocky start but it must go on !
Were bound to impress you yet .
Were bound to the acts weve always known without the time
or the drive to leave it behind .
So sit down in your seats and watch us work until we cant stand .
We couldve stood for more than this
Hey ! Mr.-Show-Me-Something-Splendid - Jocastan Acrobats are ready to perform .
Did you ever think I would think you were the only one to want to see them fail ?
Swing swing, one mistake and you die a murderer .
The best you can do is pray and to pass them on .
Just wait for the human cannonball .
He cant enjoy this place when hes flying straight over our heads but
Were bound to impress you yet .
Were bound to the acts weve always known without the time
or the drive to leave it behind .
So sit down in your seats and watch us work until we cant stand .
We couldve stood for more than this
If all the jugglers could juggle the jugglers do you think theyd ever hit the ground ?
If one of the jugglers lost faith in the others do you think wed even hear the sound ?
If all the jugglers could juggle the jugglers do you think theyd ever hit the ground ?
If one of the jugglers lost faith in the others do you think theyd even recognize that
Were bound to impress you yet .
Were bound to the acts weve always known without the time
or the drive to leave it behind .
So sit down in your seats and watch us work until we cant stand .
We couldve stood for more than this
(introducing the human cannonball)
[Mortus The Bum]
Leave the flying to the seeds; we all give up our time eventually .
Breathe in each and every word from painted lips,
we know youll keep these exaggerated features in your head .
We know youll
