“RINGMASTER.”
Music, lyrics and arrangement: Venus de Vilo © 2011
VERSE ONE:
The acrobats fall from the sky 
Like I fell for Him 
Ringmaster of oblivion 
In a circus of sin, 
To tame His heart 
I've braved lions 
And eaten fire.
PRE-CHORUS:
Roll up, roll up, it's never enough, 
I've done everything for his touch.
CHORUS:
Ringmaster, 
Courtesan to the clowns 
Is all you see me as 
Ringmaster, 
Soon in my grasp.
VERSE TWO:
Swinging from a trapeze 
Says you, where I should be, 
Not knocking on your door 
Nightly like some freak show whore, 
Oh, so you want to see me fly? 
I'll prove I'm worth it.
PRE-CHORUS:
Roll up, roll up, marvel in fright, 
No safety net- just nails tonight.
CHORUS- as before.
BRIDGE:
Watch me fly, watch me fly, I'll make you love me, 
Watch me fly.
VERSE THREE:
Falling falling, to the ground, 
My last sight- a screaming crowd, 
Finally, it's me you're holding, 
As I lay impaled in the ring, 
That you commanded so well, 
Like my heart, 
That now beats in Hell.
FINAL CHORUS:
Ringmaster 
Courtesan to the clowns 
Was all you saw me as, 
Ringmaster, 
Soon in my grasp.
Oooh... Ringmaster.
