Gutter Ballet

Another sleepless nightA concrete paradiseSirens screaming in the heatNeon cuts the eyeAs the jester sighsAt the world beneath his feetIt's a gutter balletJust a menagerieStill the orchestra playsIn the darkness of the nightTo a distant fading lightBalanced on their knivesLittle parts of livesSuch a strange realityKill the unicornJust to have its hornSoon he's just a fantasyIt's a gutter balletJust a menagerieStill the orchestra playsOn a dark and lonely nightTo a distant fading lightThe jester takes his bowsSlips into the crowdAs the actors fade awayAnother death to mournAnother child is bornAnother chapter in the playIt's a gutter balletJust a menagerieStill the orchestra playsOn a dark and lonely nightTo a distant fading light
