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
   On a dark and lonely night
   To a distant fading light
  
   Balanced on their knives
   Little parts of lives
   Such a strange reality
   Kill 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 death 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
