Magnum - Phantom Of Paradise Circus Lyrics






There’s a room it’s all broke and tattered
Where they say someone died
And the girl she ain’t sure what happened
So she thinks she’s alive

Hey come and walk the wire with me
Right to the other side
Yeah come and walk the wire with me
Eyes really open wide

But night after night she’s still walking alone
The ghost of a memory once so well known
Though no-one can think of her real name
She still hears the sound of the crowd in vain

Rising up on a white horse she came
Every night she would ride
Deep in touch with her Zodiac signs
And her Indian guide
There was magic in the air
Danger followed behind
She appeared in a circle of flame
And the ringmaster cried

It’s a place, that’s too long forgotten
Though you’ll still hear the sounds
But the flower will no longer blossom
and no people come round

She’s walking on the wire again
A wave to greet them all
She’s walking on the wire again
Don’t know she’s gonna fall

But no-one’s aware that she’s trapped there in time
She still keeps repeating the very same line
Yeah find me a preacher with tales to tell
I’ll – I’ll show him something to ring his bell

Standing up there like a shadow
Dressed in scarlet and in gold
Standing waiting for the moment
A story forever to be told

    It's a bonus track on the extra DVD that comes with the special edition of Sacred Blood Divine Lies. Or just on the standard Japanese pressing.

    Sharron Chapman I hope you have heard the two other bonus songs from the Sacred Blood album, Don't Grow Up and No God Or Saviour. All 3 should've been on the album as all are excellent :-)
