Kleiner Zirkus

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They laughed when I fell Under painted-red lights Spun me in a cage For their hungry little nights Said "Sirius, behave" While the crowd bit into sin But I kept every name Like a blade in my skin [Pre-Chorus] I learned the exits I learned the locks I learned how a smile Turns into a shock Now the ring is quiet Hear the floorboards moan I came back for my crown I came back alone [Chorus] ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus [Verse 2] I know where you hid All the gold and the lies Behind velvet curtains And the clown-painted eyes You sold me the rope You sold me the flame Now I walk through the smoke Calling out every name [Pre-Chorus] The mirrors are shaking The lions are gone Your little big show Can't hold me for long I came for the laughter I came for the bruise I came with a hunger That you cannot lose [Chorus] ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus [Bridge] No more holy acts No more final bow I was your exile I am your fallout now When the trapdoor opens When the brass turns black You’ll hear my footsteps And you won’t come back [Chorus] ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus ich bin mysterious ich bin delirios ich bin imperios ich bin sirus
