lyrics

We live by a cheap star.
A "Star Engine" actually, 'Tony always pointed out to correct me.
Every star gets cold on his skin, or on the skin of anyone who lived so far from the Sun.
But the Star Engine gets my ship going, and has always kept us warm. Still keeps us warm.
But he says:
"Star Engines are made from pieces of the Sun storms. You don't confuse an ember with a pyre.”
They actually wait for the Sun storms and, ask any of those madmen that are in the business of harness those flames, well, they'll say “it's like going fishing”.

But ain't no other way to build a spaceship able to sustain life in the deep space beyond Jupiter.
Being a pioneer it's nothing more than exporting your home hearth. Not that I am a pioneer, or that anyone is, if you ask me.

So, when I stole my ship, I didn't feel guilty at all. Neither that itchy feeling, 'cause in a certain way, it has already been stolen from the Sun, or maybe because I felt like I stole it from the Sun myself.

Ain't any difference there, no matter how strong you search for it.

Der Zirkus brennt Rome, Italy

The circus burns. The audience fled at breakneck pace. The stands are empty, the big top full of smoke and flames. The clown is alone on the track, his sequins' costume shining in the glimmer of the fire. His face is white as lime, under the left eye shines an obliged tear, the crooked hat on the head. With a flashing trumpet he plays the farewell's great melody, sublime and ridiculous.
