lyrics

Libertine I am emitting in the darkness can you hear me I am lost
& I keep looking at my watch but every time I do it's ticking out of control
now I know that I'm to meet you here but I'm afraid that that was years ago
if you ever find the time for us to be each other's please just let me know

& I AM THE CLOWN THIS TIME
& I WILL SURRENDER MY EYES
IT'S ALL GONNA BE JUST FINE
SAID THE LATEMAN TO LIBERTINE

& we are so alive!
in the carousel ride
all frozen in time my dear
all drenched in the light
hold onto my eyes
that moment in time
is crystalline

& I AM THE CLOWN THIS TIME
& I WILL IGNITE MY EYES
BABY I'LL BE JUST FINE
BUT THE LATEMAN IS CRYING

& I am missing you a year from now
& we are frozen in the carousel

Libertine oh no
I'm ticking out of control
I'm ticking & tocking
& I am not stopping
& I have nowhere to go

Libertine oh no
The Lateman is losin his soul
I'm reaching to grab you
but I cannot have you
you are years ago

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooooooooo

& I AM THE CLOWN THIS TIME
& I WILL ABANDON MY EYES
& I WILL ABANDON MY MIND
WE ALL GOTTA DIE SOMETIME
MIGHT AS WELL BE TONIGHT!

& I AM THE CLOWN THIS TIME
THROW MY WATCH TO THE SKIES
LIFE IS A CAROUSEL RIDE
SO LIBERTINE, DON'T YOU CRY!

I'm here in this field all alone
the carnies have all gone home
ohhhh Libertine where you gone?
I miss my light
