lyrics

Ladys and gentlemen,
Gays and lesbian,
Horny spectators,
Transsexual dictators,
May you come,
Or come what may

Welcome to the circus of the Metafiction Cabaret!


Tonight, our most world-weary acrobat will risk her life only for your Entertainment!


Tiny and cracked, broken and spit out
I sit on the edge of one of these patterns
they muffle, they soothe me, they try to convince
they spear me, they frazzle they imbibe every move

Infamous actions and fatal attractions of gravity.

Millions of eye-pairs track my struggle
Wait for a salto mortale to kill
They can not move anymore for themselves
So all their prospects are load onto

Me flying, I'm falling, I'm loosing the net
Which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

I'm falling, I'm flying, I'm searching the net
which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

Our daredevil angel is going to succeed icarus. She's on the ropes and ready to jump.

Are you ready?

Fooled expectations gather together
Forming a fist which wants to grab me,
Tearing me out of a jester's licence
Nailing their virtues into my mind

And don't forget, that we offer a complete money-back garantee, if your expectations get belied!


Hiding beneath them I try to forget,
To align my own will within their framework
But the tightrope is calling I have to go back
To lay it on the wire - jump in at the deep end

The countdown continues, the tension is mounting

I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm loosing the net
Which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

I'm falling, I'm flying, I'm searching the net
Which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

Now she's gonna do it
Final hesitation got past
She's gonna leap
She's gonna jump
She's gonna dive
She's gonna fly for her dear life

Like a phoenix up in the sky
With blazing spirit she's winging it high

No, she's falling!
She's falling down everybody
The falling-down continues
She's tossing and turning
The tension is burning
She's whirling around
She's hitting the ground
Security's cracking from womb to tomb
She came down as a pattern-bomb
A salto mortale, a final breath
I guess she's death!

I'm flying, I'm falling, I'm loosing the net
which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

I'm falling, I'm flying, I'm searching the net
which holds me and thrusts me - yet reassures

about

The Metafiction Cabaret image

The Metafiction Cabaret Berlin, Germany

They open up the funniest abyss and climb up the unsettlingest altitude-flights through their musical vortex in between show and art. Their catchy melodies will trap you into a sparkling netherworld, feed you with soft piano sounds, but also hit you with punchy drums and guitars. You’ll get lost in that spectacle of unsecure performance of concert. ... more
