Gutter Ballet

Another sleepless night A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It¹s a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality Kill the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he¹s just a fantasy It¹s a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another death to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It¹s a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light
