Ballade Lyrics by Illyah Kuryahkin

Count No Count

1996

[Verse 1]
Tired from the dying song
We're launching
Banished from the daylight
Long before the reckless crowd
Appears and hears
A drumroll into magic tricks
And disappearing knife throwing
Amazement under sequined skies
[Verse 2]
Didn't I tell you why
I brought you flowers
Lilies and lawns
Try to picture Calcutta
Before a typhoon
Didn't you know undressed
Your mirror hardly knows you
Before you take yourself
Again outside and clamour
For the next divide
[Chorus]
A banter in the drift
You start to feed
And hold back nothing
While it sparks to seed
All westing in our minds
All ice and snow
It's off we go
We grow
[Bridge]
Another curtain call
[Verse 3]
Didn't I tell you why
I love the circus
Shelling out crowns
Tired from the barking hounds
And swaggers numbered
Riding in town before
A feckless daming hoard
Appears thrilled
By hammers on the teeth
Of sorry selves
And villainous outcasts
[Chorus]
A banter in the drift
You start to feed
And hold back nothing
While it sparks to seed
All westing in our minds
All ice and snow
It's off we go
We grow
We grow
We grow
[Bridge]
Another armada
[Outro]
Didn't I tell you why
I tell you why
Didn't I tell you why
I tell you why
A drumroll into magic
Tricks
A drumroll into magic
Tricks
A drumroll into magic
Tricks
