She's the trapeze artist
The dancer in the dark
Like a fallen angel
With the purest of all hearts
Times of endless stories
Say when she was born
Was left to her luck
In the streets with no remorse
(La la la)
Then came a Ringmaster
Saw her there alone
Picked from the cold
And then raised her as his own
In the years that followed
She grew to be a doll
A beautiful and shy girl
She was like no other one
Travelled with the circus
From one place to the next
Conquered every heart
That would see her in the air
(La la la)
Every night the circus
Called her name to all
She would take the stage
To a thunderous applause
She was like an Angel
She was paradise
Sadness is her lips
And the beauty of her eyes
Fallen from the heavens
Untouched by men's lies
She was not of earth
But a spirit from the skies
But what no one noticed
What they never saw
Truly that the artist
Wanted to let her life go
So one night this angel
Stood above and high
Her hands took the rings
And her body touched the sky
Once more
Screams filled all the tent as
Everyone would cry
All of the performers
Felt the tears had left their eyes
Spread against the shadows
Dead upon the floor
Just as she had wanted
She had finally left the world
(Ahhh)
