[00:06.09]What are you building down there in the dark?
[00:10.01]Every night alone under candle light and spark
[00:13.63]concealed in the ting tang of metals
[00:17.83]and the melting of steel
[00:19.92]If something should go wrong
[00:22.13]we will have to carry you away
[00:26.14]our only son.
[00:27.82]
[00:32.15]Ladies and gentlemen
[00:34.34]may I present to you not a lion in a cage
[00:38.35]not a juggler or swallower of blades
[00:41.71]but the Human Cannonball.
[00:46.81]
[01:13.38]My sister was an acrobat
[01:15.64]an artist of the swings
[01:17.38]My father tamed the beasts
[01:19.09]and was the master of the three circus rings
[01:23.47]When my brother walked the tight rope
[01:25.60]no one made a sound
[01:27.58]but he tumbled in the spotlight
[01:29.67]Echoes cried when he hit the ground
[01:33.82]We'll miss you
[01:35.68]
[01:39.65]I am the Human Cannonball
[01:43.70]not a lion in your cage
[01:46.05]not a juggler or swallower of blades
[01:49.36]I will fly to painted stars
