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


It's 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 he's just a fantasy

It's 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


It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays

On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light
