My life as a circus clown

The lights go down
the knife man sleeps
and I wonder where you are
trapped inside a burning mini
and I wonder where you are
you never used a safety net
I never thought that far ahead
I wonder if you think of me
while I wonder where you are

This time I lose but
I know one day
I'll win
one day I'll win
this time I lose but I know
one day
I'll win
one day I'll win

The new girl does your show at eight
and I wonder where you are
the human cannon hesitates
and I wonder where you are
if you can make me disappear a little
can you make me disappear a lot?
well I wonder if you think of me
while I wonder if you're not

This time I lose but
I know one day
I'll win
one day I'll win
this time I lose but I know
one day
I'll win
one day I'll win
I will

The lights go down
the knife man dreams
of missing
of missing
of missing
