lyrics

Angels & Acrobats

One, two, buckle my shoe
Getting ready for my date
Three, four, knock on your door
Won’t you soothe my fractured state?
Five, six, pick up sticks
Weighed down by my stupid tricks
Seven, eight, set things straight
Start again, wipe clean the slate


The angels and the acrobats
Look down, hey yah
No circus is complete
Without a clown, hey yah
Beneath this smiling makeup
Sits my silly twisted frown
Your laughter is the load I bear
To wear the idiot’s crown
Tomorrow’s yellow circle in the grass, hey yah
This show is leaving town


The band will play the opening chords
The ringmaster will start the show
You’ll find me in between the lions and the juggler
Like some middle child in dayglow
Cruel comic of the canvas court
Squeeze laughter from my own demise
And if I play my part just right
You know my tears will find your eyes


The angels and the acrobats
Look down, hey yah
The ancients and the astronauts
Look down, hey yah
Hidden gods and neophytes
The priestess and her acolytes
Militia drones and satellites
Look down, hey yah

The dreamers and the dispossessed
Look down, hey yah
The aimless and the great obsessed
Look down, hey yah
The puppets and the puppeteers
The wisemen and the racketeers
The bankrupt and their financiers
Look down, hey yah
Atheists and hierophants
The naysayers, the sycophants
All agents of entanglement
Look down, hey yah


If you fall down from on high
Turns out this was just a lie
When you think you’ll drown
You can’t look down

When you fall into the sea
Turns out that you’re just like me
If you can’t look down
You think you’ll drown
And I will meet your gaze

I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze

I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
I will meet your gaze
