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
the 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
