1.Silent blue So cried the somber moon
2.Above the oaken forest starving in the cold
3.There lay a carnival
4.With a showman’s hall
5.The GREATEST LIVING SHOW Never been told
6.So I go7.
8.・・・・・・・・・・・・・・9.
10.Bring the stage alight
11.Was the amber writing plain across the door
12.Glinting bright, drawing figures from the night13.
14.Bring the stage alight
15.Went the opal-beaked dancers chanting plight
16.Casting shadows that reek of cologne17.
18.Braving through the sight
19.To the seats replete with shaking heat and fright
20.High he stands
21.Twisting puppets on his throne22.
23.Let him raise his arms in might
24.To the Greatest Show that’s ever never known
25.Falling curtains that shine Like a bone26.
27.Soaring round above the ground
28.With threads so brightly blaring Mouth apart
29.A smile twisting Like a plaything on a string30.
31.Lions roar With force For what is in store
32.As the trumpets are bleating
33.Like broken violins34.
35.The last curtain is calling
36.For the show tonight
37.The last curtain is calling
38.For the show tonight
39.The last curtain is calling
40.For it’s time for all little children to take their daily41.
42.・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・43.
44.Then to the lonely middle time Where the star-painted dancers take the lights off
45.Out go the tired middle men Who retire in dirty lines46.
47.Then to the ending time again
48.Where the haze heavy room is cold and empty
49.Trotting across the middle when A new light colors in my mind50.
51.If I love the show
52.Shall I waltz onstage and be a dancer in the glow
53.For all to know
54.And then the watcher’s eyes Will be my glaring prize
55.Here in the Greatest Living Show Never been told56.
57.So I go58.
59.・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・60.
61.Bring the stage alight
62.As I slip into the corset of the night
63.In the wings When he traps me in his sight64.
65.Bring the stage alight
66.Was the candied whisper made to take my fright
67.“Can’t you hear them all calling your name?”68.
69.Bring the stage alight
70.With a sequined dress to draw my breath In white
71.Cheers the crowd Screaming black into the light72.
73.Bring the stage alight
74.But the poems I’ve been praying don’t seem right
75.Falling curtains that shine On a doll76.
77.・・・・・・・・・・・・・・78.
79.Soaring round above the ground
80.With threads so tight they tear me Head apart
81.My body twisting Like a plaything on a string82.
83.Men in masks They laugh In brandy and glass
84.Through their spectacled grins
85.As I’m falling limb from limb86.
87.The last curtain is calling
88.For the show to end
89.The last curtain is calling
90.For the show to end
91.The last curtain is calling
92.For the show to end
93.End End End End
