Video Circus Clown



Video Circus Clown
Take off your wedding gown
your party is dumbing down
obscurity bound
makeup smudges your mask
you've become the Idealog

We are our children
yet to be born
crawling to walk then run
to the sun
be good, be kind
and lead the blind
tomorrow's another dawn
tomorrows come and gone
be still now
soak in the light
you are here
scratch your mark
inside your heart
on the family tree

Then lay down
in a field of splendor
Remember remember
Everything we did
...was for our children

We are God
