Lyrics
Cries From The Midnight Circus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the concrete valleys the electric storm.
We members of the midnight circus,
Our bodies so brightly adorn
In your long sedans and your oldsmobiles,
Through that slit in your face, you ask me,
How it feels.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Im a-telling you again.
Daughters of satan all stand in line,
With faces greased and a mouth full of shine.
With iron hand you bruise the flesh,
Then through a closing door you ask,
Pray why the distress.
Hear me, can you hear me, can you.
Midnight sailors can stay,
We wont send you away,
See me here on my knees.
You lie in the alley, with blood on your clothes.
As fingers round your throat they close.
Your cries of murder, splash on the walls
As you die, you think about the injustice of it all.
Can you hear me ...
Hear me ...
See satans daughters red light,
They have such good appetites,
Another clown packs his drag
