lyrics

We’ve got honest thieves
We’ve got pink elephants
We’ve got green flying pigs
A hat in each hand

We’ve got straws to cling to
A bucket filled with missing links
Here we shoot blanks
that’s why we never miss

(Chorus)
Give us a place away from heaven
A place where we can sin and learn from wrong
A hanged mans jest, the sailor’s chest
The battle scars of soldiers
They all leak wisdom if we choose to notice

Poor happy people
And the blind rule the night
Actors the whores
Vendu pour l’amour

The rich share their drinks.
While puppets play the strings
And masters are the laughingstock
In all our dreams

(chorus)

If Clothes makes the man
Then dresses we’ll wear
And witness victoriously
As Dogma despairs

Our seat is the arena
Beholder the clown
Love last forever
In Glorious endeavor

(chorus)

Teach the old dog
A hand of new tricks
Give it a goal
Inspired of the old

Here the white haired are Young
The children the wise
Eons of wisdom
Shine in their eyes!

(chorus)

Those with no voice
While facing the law
Sings in our choir
In marry galore

They never understand
How we live, and how we die
Why we eat their shit
Just to blossom and thrive!

(chorus)

Come and see our Zirkus everyone
100 million years old siblings, welcome home
Under our canvas we unfold
All the shadows lurking in the sun

We are strong
When we are many
Here we share every penny
Time is lazy and unyielding
