Circus Songtext
von Hölderlin

Coloured walls they promise us
A world of magic filled with delights
The greatest show on earth
Presents for you, thrills on the high wire
Music, laughter, acts of daring
Tonight in the big top
Nightmares and shambling apes
Dressed up like walrus
Throw with a smile Coloured rain in your eyes
Clowns are tumbling in the sand
Lions risk their lives in the tamer′s mouth
Strong men fighting up so high
Glancing on the wire leading to illusion
And Bernie the bear is dancing around
Tells very shy the story of Mr. Hyde
And Torter the horse like a helldriver's girl
Is losing her life every night


And when the show comes to its end
Clowns, animals, and acrobats
Clasp each other happily in their arms
They slip off their costumes and masks
Steve the elephant kisses
Petra the zebra on her neck
And caresses her
And caresses her
