Circus
JOHN DAVIES CALE
Animals in cages people stand and stare
Outside looking in
Confidentially, it's gotten worse
Inside this cage the pacing's gotten worse
The lion tamer's art whip against the will
Has shattered the calm
A broken mind and body in the dark
The beauty on the trapeze
She stayed quiet above it all
Her lover on the floor
Had been there once or twice before
The robot decides i think we found the
Perfect replacement this time
The leading role in this pantomime
