What are you building down there in the dark? Every night alone under candle light and spark concealed in the ting tang of metals and the melting of steel If something should go wrong we will have to carry you away our only son.
Ladies and gentlemen may I present to you not a lion in a cage not a juggler or swallower of blades but the Human Cannonball.
My sister was an acrobat an artist of the swings My father tamed the beasts and was the master of the three circus rings When my brother walked the tight rope no one made a sound but he tumbled in the spotlight Echoes cried when he hit the ground We'll miss you
I am the Human Cannonball not a lion in your cage not a juggler or swallower of blades I will fly to painted stars
