Oh, the care that it took to keep your pride from the ground
Made you smile even though gravity won the last round
Some things are unbreakable, haven't you learned that by now?
It's much easier now to fill in the days since you left
And it's not just the clothes that you wore, it's the words that you said
Confidence game, I know this one, this is the one where we lose
Oh, the daring young man, up there on the flying trapeze
Flies through the air, flies with the greatest of ease
Fly or fall, there's no one to see you
They've all gone to sleep
Circus for sale
Tired of running around
Setting up in the rain
On the outskirts of town
Some things don't die, some things they just run aground
Run to ground"
