《The Human Cannonball》歌词

[00:00:06] what are you building down there in the dark?

[00:00:10] every night alone under candle light and spark

[00:00:13] concealed in the ting tang of metals

[00:00:17] and the melting of steel

[00:00:19] if something should go wrong

[00:00:22] we will have to carry you away

[00:00:26] our only son.

[00:00:32] ladies and gentlemen

[00:00:34] may i present to you not a lion in a cage

[00:00:38] not a juggler or swallower of blades

[00:00:41] but the human cannonball.

[00:01:13] my sister was an acrobat

[00:01:15] an artist of the swings

[00:01:17] my father tamed the beasts

[00:01:19] and was the master of the three circus rings

[00:01:23] when my brother walked the tight rope

[00:01:25] no one made a sound

[00:01:27] but he tumbled in the spotlight

[00:01:29] echoes cried when he hit the ground

[00:01:33] we'll miss you

[00:01:39] i am the human cannonball

[00:01:43] not a lion in your cage

[00:01:46] not a juggler or swallower of blades

[00:01:49] i will fly to painted stars
