Songtexte Full Nelson - Oliver Nelson

Time is dead and gone
Show must go on
It's time for our act

They all scream at me
They cannot see
This curtain hides me

An amazing gift
So quick and swift
You were amazing

By myself I can't
They start to chant
Why are you not here?

Grinning at me
I lay on my knees
They want to hear me
Why can not 'he' see?

I want to see you
I need to see you
I have to see you
What happened to you?

We get up on stage
They jump to enrage
Why are you not here?
Why is 'he' so near?

'He' wants me to sing
I just can not bring-
I say 'he's' not you
What else can I do?

Singing it's silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in it's own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant, it lets out a plea
Why did she have to leave it all alone?

Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us, It despises us
Lying so useless, we start to holler
Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!

I lay all alone
I should have known
You would have left me

'He' smiles at me
I can not see
Why 'he's' in your place

They can't tell me why
You said good-bye
Right before our act

Those two young lions
Were always fun Why did they leave, too?

Roaring at me
I lay on my knees
What is happening?
I can hear you sing

They will not obey
They've been lead astray
Will I still see you?
I have to see you

I panic and flee
They both pounce on me
I fell to the ground
I can't hear a sound

I look up and see
You are not with me
Am I all alone?
Where could you have gone?

Singing it's silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in it's own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant, it lets out a plea
Why did she have to leave it all alone?

Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us, it despises us
Lying so useless, We start to holler
Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!

Singing it's silent song of misery
A monster lies trapped in it's own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant, it lets out a plea
Why did she have to leave it all alone?

Bound to sing for us, a worthless monster
It never sees us, It despises us
Lying so useless, we start to holler
Hey, get up you worthless Circus Monster!

Singing my silent song of misery
This monster lies trapped in my own Nightmare
'He' is a tyrant, I let out a plea
Why did you have to leave me all alone?

Bound to sing for them, a worthless monster
i never see them, i despise them so
lying so useless, they start to holler
hey, get up you worthless circus monster
