"The Glitter Clowns" presents Silver Symphony (Orcestra Version)

[Intro – Orchester, dann Gitarren] The curtains rise, the strings begin to weep A painted king walks out from the dark One red nose, one silver crown too cheap And a whole damn circus in his heart [Verse 1] I was born in sequins and smoke Trained by ghosts in a velvet hall Every note is a joke that broke Every encore is a curtain call [Pre-Chorus] Raise the horns Raise the lights Let the clowns conduct the night [Chorus] Silver symphony Glitter in the strings We don’t play it pretty We play the broken things Silver symphony Crash and then we soar Rock ’n’ roll forever With an orchestra at war [Verse 2] Cellos crying through the feedback scream Violins cut like a razor grin I kiss the crowd in a fever dream Then fall apart when the lights go dim [Bridge – Orchester-Ausbruch] Strike the drums like thunder Let the brass go wild I’m the fool, I’m the wonder I’m the circus and the child One last bow, one last lie One last song before we die [Final Chorus] Silver symphony Glitter in the strings We don’t play it pretty We play the broken things Silver symphony Crash and then we soar Rock ’n’ roll forever With an orchestra at war [Outro] The strings fade out… The clown remains… Silver… symphony…
