Ladies and gentlemen [00:00:05]
May I direct your attention to the centre ring [00:00:08]
Where hollow princes and shallow kings [00:00:10]
Perform their tricks while justice swings [00:00:14]
From side to side [00:00:16]
And may I remind you once again [00:00:18]
Of the spectacle about to begin [00:00:21]
Now forming at the darkest [00:00:23]
End of the big top [00:00:25]
Don't forget to take your place in line [00:00:26]
Leave your mind behind [00:00:29]
And join the precession of the people [00:00:31]
By the people and for the people [00:00:34]
Your own wonderful parade [00:00:38]
Your wonderful parade [00:00:45]
Moving through the towns that rise and then they fade [00:00:49]
Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed [00:00:53]
Your wonderful parade [00:00:56]
Your daily masquerade [00:01:01]
Paper masks that hide the faces you have made [00:01:05]
Crumbled down upon foundations you've laid [00:01:09]
Your daily masquerade [00:01:12]
Stand in line [00:01:15]
Try to climb [00:01:17]
Meet your wife at cocktail time [00:01:17]
Sure to lose [00:01:19]
So try and choose [00:01:20]
A better way to fall [00:01:21]
Your marvelous charade [00:01:26]
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid [00:01:30]
Blindness is a part of every game you played [00:01:33]
Your marvelous parade [00:01:37]
(Ahh your marvelous parade) [00:01:44]
Stand in line [00:01:57]
Try to climb [00:01:58]
Meet your wife at cocktail time [00:01:59]
Sure to lose [00:02:01]
So try and choose [00:02:02]
A better way to fall [00:02:03]
Your marvelous charade (your marvelous charade) [00:02:07]
Never could be worth the prices that you've paid [00:02:11]
Blindness is a part of every game you played [00:02:15]
Your marvelous parade (your daily masquerade) [00:02:18]
(Your wonderful parade) [00:02:22]
