Translation
Bilingual
There was a time of order
A neat and tidy border
Soldiers marching, keeping time
Then the big top swayed
The whole procession frayed
And the clowns came tumbling down the line
Nothing's on purpose
Everything's a circus
The moon paints her porcelain face
No wrong and no right
Just sawdust and spotlight
And nobody's keeping their place
There's a man on the trapeze
Catching air on borrowed knees
Fighting gravity with a grin
Nobody's watching him fall
Nobody's watching at all
But he keeps on swinging again
(Mmm)

The tightrope walker tips
The aerialist slips
The lion tamer's lost the cage
The magician's rabbit ran
No trick, no backup plan
Just another clown on the stage
A girl in the stands
Flowers in her hands
All she ever wanted was romance
The clowns took the door
She doesn't know what for
So she's learning to love the last dance
There's a man on the trapeze
Catching air on borrowed knees
Fighting gravity with a grin
Nobody's watching him fall
Nobody's watching at all
But he keeps on swinging again
(Mmm)
(Mmm)
