garance - yes just like the flower
i've got a lonely message for you
the marionette's in the ballroom laughing
baptiste the clown
up in the gods now they're laughing
garance has a heart like a vase
the man has fingers like flowers blooming
baptiste the clown

humming this tune that i just heard
a melody i barely know
a song for the children of paradise
baptiste the clown
asks himself who am i

ah - don't sing only half the song
ah - can't you hear us sing along
yawning words waiting
for the moon to come closer

how can he kill without mercy
just to dress up like a king
under the makeup his face is flooding
baptiste the clown
says take me home

suffering's not such a blessing
you're everyone and nobody now
the sleepwalker's up on the rooftop waltzing
baptiste the clown
asks himself who am i
