about

Swan Song #5

lyrics

all the circus people
even "Auguste the sad"
they jubilate
as if there was a reason
maybe the end of a war
no. nothing like that
and all the eyes shine up
with joy
a feeling that they're finally free
and no one...
no one gives a shit anymore
what comes tomorrow
what if there will be a dawn
when all the love is gone

and on the heavy horizon
there is a gathering storm
taking a roll
electric shivers go down the chapiteau spine
there goes the ringmaster's hat
off his head
into the sky
merde

and all the savages roar
and all the birds they sing
and all the dogs they howl
and howl
nothing in the scene is real
a preacher's doing his bluff
all the crossing and usual stuff
doesn't help, it won't help
merde
and then...

the tent goes up
in the air
like a kite
people are left naked and scared
on the ground
under the black ink of the raging sky...

and all the savages roar
and all the birds they sing
and all the dogs they howl
and howl
and howl

and all the children weep
and all the women sing
and the men just howl
and howl
and howl
