lyrics

Open my kindergarten eyes
and I'm in crinoline

Half in her dress,
wrestling against clasps,
the Singer is fastened in
And the Kindergarten Circus is about to begin!

Hands above my head
Coral in this endless underneath

Legs twirling below
Peppermint stick in a child's mouth

Torso to and from
Wrapped-up butterfly, kept by threads

Glints of classroom light hint through the silver filaments
turning me into a figurine
Wafts of theatrical perfume lift from this whispering costume
kissed by moths who've featsted here unseen
Animal-cackles ricochet
Their chuckles are hushed by the fabric
But in here, my solo song boomerangs
Practicing, I am ecstatic!
Hands above my head!
Legs twirling below!
Torso to and from!

Half in her dress,
wrestling against clasps,
the Singer is fastened in
And the Kindergarten Circus is about to begin!

How many girls twisted blissfully here
moments from their turns to bloom?

Wistfully I re-sing my circus tune...
