The lights are bright in the circus The geeks and the freaks all light cigarettes And laugh at your misery While the weight of the curtain closing crushes your heart The inertia of loneliness tears your flesh apart It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide...down Once the neon is gone There is still that golden splinter at your side His manners are charming, but who are you fooling You are nobody's bride While Bukowski's widow haunts each empty seat on the Ferris wheel Ghoulish lovers collide In a collage of kisses that they steal It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide...down And outside the window The circus crackles and lurches with rings of smoke You laugh half-heartedly at the punchline Not realizing they've made you the joke Inside my heart a war is raging In regions still untamed The worst fear I can imagine Is for the mystery to be tamed The mystery to be tamed It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide...down It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide It's a long slow slide...down
