Richard Shindell - A Juggler Out In Traffic lyrics

I'm a juggler out in traffic just another clown throwing fire at the sky you are facing forward heading out of town just waiting for the light here together in the street the way it is, we never meet red goes green and you go by I used to go 'round for the change I'd go from car to car with my jester's cap in hand when I tried to catch your eye you'd always look away and rush to roll your window up I never lingered there for long time the light and move along but red go green and you'd go by the switch from bowling pins to fire I did it all for you for you, gunning off into what future I did it all for you and I'm still out here at midnight looking for the stars in the streetlamp glow just a juggler out in traffic with a broken heart for it's later than you know here together in the street the way it is, we never meet red goes green and you go by one than two then three then one atoms round an empty sun one than two then three then one this is how the trick is done one than two then three then one a centrifuge, a cyclotron one than two then three then one glory be thy trick be done
