After the circus fades, we are left alone
Both our hearts beat like a metronome
Atop a volcano
But it's hard to sit and watch the mountain grow
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Once the riot starts, no one could see a thing
We overhear the fat man say
"It's the end of the beginning
It's the end of the beginning"
But it's hard to sit and watch the pendulum swing
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
Makes no sense, a Rorschach test
A picket fence on which we lay all our clothes
(The world is really round)
That's not the story I heard
(What do you really know?)
We know it backwards and forwards
(Well, it's gonna end anyway)
It's just the tip of the iceberg
Pain in the back, head of a clown
It's too late, it made my skin crawl
It's hard to sit and watch the monuments fall
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba
