Gas Giant
Circus Of Stars

i'm falling under
i've been sinking in the yard
here in the circus of stars
we jump through hoops and fire
it's not that hard...

we've been rehearsing for years
i've been down all of my fears
it's hotter than it appears
when from the audience applause and jeers
pain and souvenirs
listen to the sound effects
of all my peers...

i'm sinking faster
there's a long sad way to go
these clowns are stealing the show
they'll rob you blind
and you would never know...

we'll always orbit that sphere
once every ten thousand years
three rings and planets from here
when all the voyagers and pioneers
have all disappeared
lost between the empty space
they're nowhere near...

endangered and the strange
are fed and caged
with bits and pieces of the same old show
the tamer's getting old
she plays a lot of roles
by now her feet are getting so cold...
having a meltdown out in the ring...
