I was watching the man on the tightrope
He was doing his best to stay up
He was swaying from side to side
And the crowd around him cried
And the nails of the lady beside me
were digging into my skin
and her breathing was becoming
excited as they let the lions in
She said
Fall, why don't you fall for me now?
With the smell of the beast in my nostrils
And a look of pure fear in my eye
The king of the jungle came forward
And the crowd began to sigh
And the lady who'd been sitting
beside me was lying upon the ground
And the clown who was riding my cycle
was going around and around
He said
Fall, why don't you fall for me now
Come on and take me to the circus
I wanna see the lion
I wanna see the tiger
I wanna see the chimpanzee
The chimpanzee wanna see me
Take me to the circus
Come on and take me to the circus
You know I'm going home to my Marla
And listen to some String Driven Thing
I've had enough peaks in the circus
And none of them are in the ring
You know I'm going home to my Marla
And hang on to her apron strings
I've had enough of life in the circus
with animals and everything
She said
Fall, why don't you fall for me now

줄타기를 하는 남자를 보고 있었어
그는 좌우로 흔들리면서도
떨어지지 않으려 최선을 다했고
주위 사람들은 소리를 질렀어
옆에 있는 여인의 손톱이
내 살갗을 찔러댔고
사자가 등장하자
그녀는 호흡이 거칠어졌고
이렇게 말했어
내게 한번 빠져 볼래요?
정글의 왕이 다가오자
코에 느껴지는 맹수의 냄새
내 눈에는 순수한 공포의 표정
군중은 함성을 지르기 시작했어
옆에 앉아 있던 여인은
바닥에 엎드렸고
자전거를 타고
돌고 돌던
광대는 말했어
내게 한번 빠져 볼래요?
어서 서커스로 데려다줘
사자가 보고 싶어
호랑이가 보고 싶어
침팬지가 보고 싶어
침팬지도 날 보고 싶어 해
서커스로 데려다줘
어서 서커스로 데려다줘
내 사랑 말라가 있는 집으로 가서
우리 노래나 들을래
서커스에서 충분히 즐겼고
이제 무대에는 아무도 없잖아
말라가 있는 집에 가서
치마폭에 파묻힐래
서커스에서 동물도 보고
충분히 즐겼으니까 말이야
그녀는 말했어
내게 한번 빠져 볼래요?
