caius hubris - midnight circus كلمات الأغنية

midnight circus lyrics
[intro]
“no, that’s a good question, actually. i guess i never really was afraid to fall. well, that’s how it starts, obviously. you get that fear, and then that causes doubt, and that doubt causes hesitation, and even a second of hesitation in a movement like this, well, that leads to failure. and in this business, failure well, that’s fatal, so, no, i guess i could never really afford to be afraid to fall.”

[verse]
trapeze ain’t easy
the interviewer says looking up from a page
you’ve got an essay of a resume
evеn worked for the cirque du solеil
spent time in vegas, flawless
ten shows a week
we’re all very impressed
but the midnight circus is not for the weak
jonathan replies, with a sparkle in his eye
that clearly he’s ready for anything
he’s been sleeping eyes wide
with a chest full of pride since the opportunity came knocking
no, i won’t let you down sir
test me i will not fail
the interviewer smirks, and with one thumbs up
sends jonathan to acrobat h_ll
dusk till dawn, and the days were long
not a moment to stop and reminisce
he’d tape up a gash, or walk on a fracture
not a second was missed
the blood in his mouth, yeah he tasted it
every second he wanted to quit
but when he tried to think of a higher peak
the answer was always this is it
so he closed his eyes, and he prayed to himself
i know this springboard feels like a bed of nails
but it’s something we can’t be without
and now they’ve whittled a whole crowd down, to just two
but who’s the one more astonishing
ladies and gentlemen
let me introduce to you for the first time
the amazing jonathan
[chorus]
and anything could happen to you now
when you risk it all
and you take the fall
so when the curtain calls you go and take a bow
then you risk it all
and you take the fall

[verse]
and johnny boy could not be beat
the big top act was easy street
he somersaults defying death
the seat’s_edge crowd still holds its breath
hooping hollering house_lights dim
whispering wondering, eyes on him
nothing could stop this living blur
except for the night that he saw her
dancing in the center ring and fanning flames
she had that thing
that elegant swaying poise
murdering men, destroying boys
moxie was her moniker
he knew that none were lovelier
when he tried to think of a higher peak
the answer was always it’s her
the one he loved
the myth he couldn’t believe was true
she had the voice of an angel
the sound he hoped to grow old to
and when she moved her hips
he could only think one thing
if she’s to be my darling queen
i’ve got to be the king
they fell in love, it was destined to be
he’s the best in the air, she’s the best on her feet
through years their love grew, and it never failed
as they tried to raise a family through diminishing ticket sales
[chorus]
and anything could happen to you now
when you risk it all
and you take the fall
so when the curtain calls you go and take a bow
then you risk it all
and you take the fall

[verse]
i can see him now
gray is his hair as he stares at the crowd
he’s practiced his bow
but that’s only gonna happen
if he doesn’t kick the bucket on the long trip down
named king but he wears no crown
hoping the locals don’t figure him out
growing older now, but he’s still gotta man up
cause he’s gotta keep the mortgage down
his kid’s in the front row, grandkid on the lap
there’s a tiny little landing pad
and a jetpack strapped to his back
she’s backstage stretching, growing old, but still warming up
and moxie gets the money from the policy her husband has recently upped
ringmaster gives the cue to king
along with a subtle nod and a wink
acrobats who are strapped for cash don’t got a lotta time to think
blow one last kiss, throw one last wave
make one last wish that you don’t change your mind when you open your eyes half way
wind blows past king’s face
as it would on a regular day
there’s an x marked on the ground
but the king lands around a kingdom away
initial disbelief, followed up by a guttural scream
ripcord pulled, and the curtain falls
and a scramble to handle the morbid scene
[chorus]
and anything could happen to you now
when you risk it all
and you take the fall
so when the curtain called you went and took a bow
then you risked it all
and you took the fall
