[00:05.30]Ladies and gentlemen
[00:08.55]May I direct your attention to the centre ring
[00:11.26]Where hollow princes and shallow kings
[00:14.49]Perform their tricks while justice swings
[00:17.41]From side to side
[00:19.23]And may I remind you once again
[00:21.67]Of the spectacle about to begin
[00:23.88]Now forming at the darkest
[00:25.58]End of the big top
[00:27.41]Don't forget to take your place in line
[00:29.93]Leave your mind behind
[00:31.91]And join the precession of the people
[00:34.46]By the people and for the people
[00:38.50]Your own wonderful parade
[00:46.37]Your wonderful parade
[00:49.74]Moving through the towns that rise and then they fade
[00:53.29]Over streets that pass the houses where you've stayed
[00:56.87]Your wonderful parade
[01:02.16]Your daily masquerade
[01:05.90]Paper masks that hide the faces you have made
[01:09.48]Crumbled down upon foundations you've laid
[01:13.10]Your daily masquerade
[01:16.13]Stand in line
[01:16.98]Try to climb
[01:18.04]Meet your wife at cocktail time
[01:19.86]Sure to lose
[01:20.68]So try and choose a better way to fall
[01:26.62]Your marvelous charade
[01:30.05]Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
[01:33.69]Blindness is a part of every game you played
[01:37.22]Your marvelous charade
[01:58.31]Stand in line
[01:59.16]Try to climb
[02:00.11]Meet your wife at cocktail time
[02:01.92]Sure to lose
[02:02.62]So try and choose a better way to fall
[02:08.51]Your marvelous charade
[02:12.06]Never could be worth the prices that you've paid
[02:15.55]Blindness is a part of every game you played
[02:19.19]Your marvelous charade
