The Circus Lyrics
2
THE GIRL:
3
I remember a jet slowly scraping
4
Low and heavy across a sky of slate
5
I remember the angle of your elbow
6
As it doubled back
7
In the crack of fists across a face
8
I remember the suck of boots in mud
9
Guttural, sexual, in those clandestine woods
10
THE KILLER:
11
Down at the river's edge
12
Below the concrete bed
13
The smell of lilac in your hair
14
Where the stinging nettles grow
15
And the lonely rushes blow
16
I left you in a culvert there
17
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
18
Buildings and dreams dissolve into rust
19
Now all the flowers are turning brown
20
Cause the circus is coming to town
21
Cause the circus is coming to town
22
THE GIRL:
23
I remember dying to cry out
24
But throat-stuck with briars and stones
25
As your ruddy lips grew much ruddier
26
THE KILLER:
27
Step you lightly now
28
We must keep our voices down
29
The dogs of remorse
30
Follow close on the wind
31
Take your face off, don't be shy
32
They can't hunt you with their eyes
33
But surely they know the scent of sin
34
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
35
Buildings and dreams dissolve into rust
36
Now all the flowers are turning brown
37
Cause the circus is coming to town
38
Cause the circus is coming to town
39
THE GIRL:
40
I remember falling, falling back
41
Into that tangled bed: a mesh of twigs
42
Deflowered like a virgin bride
43
In the ground swell of spring
44
Underneath that deciduous canopy
45
Propped up with jagged scaffolding
46
Is that a train or thunder coming?
47
Is that a train or thunder?
