Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise
Sirens screaming in the heat
Neon cuts the eye
As the jester sighs
At the world beneath his feet
It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
In the darkness of the night
To a distant fading light
Balanced on their knives
Little parts of lives
Such a strange reality
k** the unicorn
Just to have its horn
Soon he's just a fantasy
It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light
The jester takes his bows
Slips into the crowd
As the actors fade away
Another d**h to mourn
Another child is born
Another chapter in the play
It's a gutter ballet
Just a menagerie
Still the orchestra plays
On a dark and lonely night
To a distant fading light
It's a gutter ballet
a gutter ballet, ooh
a gutter ballet, aah
a gutter ballet, yeah
