Unreleased rarity played live on Clumsy Tour Story told before singing Trapeze: So there's this song that we recorded when we were recording all the songs for Clumsy. It's a song about the Russian circus, a song about the two main trapeze artists. It's a song about a man who has to make a choice, and the choice that he has to make is one where every night, he finds himself, and his wife, who's the other main trapeze artist, in an arena like this, staring at each other on opposite ends, way up top on their perch, right before they're about to perform, and every night, the man, the husband, looks over to his wife and gives her a very sexy kinda "hello" look, and every night, all around the world, she reciprocates this look, stares back at him into his eyes, except for this one night. This one night where the husband, again seconds about where they're just about to perform, gives that look, only she's not looking at him, she's got her eyes focused way down in Letras de cancionesthe corner, over there. In that corner sits what's called the Human Cannonball. And the husband sees that she's looking at the Human Cannonball, and the Human Cannonball is looking back up at her. Anxiety starts to build in his head, and he starts thinking about the last two minutes, the last two hours, the last two days, the last two weeks, the last two months, until finally, finally tonight, he suffers from what you would call enlightenment. And his enlightenment is he realizes his wife is fucking the Human Cannonball. And this song Trapeze that I've been telling you about is a song based purely on those four seconds that the husband has to decide whether or not he actually wants to catch his wife tonight. Can't believe she fell The silence was unnerving The crowd began to yell Was there thought of her returning So you never knew him well But you know what You've been seeing These images of guilt And the concrete in her hair So far Well these lions still need taming Its very bad very bad No no She fell very hard very far No no And for this cannonball Cannonball As desperate as you felt Were you strong enough To leave him Oh you need to know him well He's an angry acrobat So you struggle with the will With the will that You've been seeing These images of guilt And the concrete in her hair Oh god And the avalanche is waiting It's very sad, it's very sad No no And she fell very hard, very far No No For this cannonball Cannonball No no And she fell very hard, very far Yeah And he walked away from And he walked away from it And he walked away from And he walked away from it And he walked away from Can't believe she fell Well it happened in a turning You struggle with the will But the thought that this The thought that this So far Well these lions still need taming It's very bad, it's very bad Bad No no And she fell very hard, very far No no And for this cannonball Cannonball No no She fell very hard, very far No no For this cannonball Cannonball From Letras Mania
