"Canaries" lyrics

I went to see someone close to me in a castle built for a king. It had 100 floors, 1000 servants, suits on every being. His stare was stone cold. He's not much for laughs, nor am I because it's so hard to hug him through the glass. My town is a tent with a circus inside and we all ride on one of the rides but we all hope they go so high we never come down. They cage up some of the apes they can't sophisticate the rest of us struggle and in that struggle we kill each other. I went to see someone close to me in a meadow forged for a king. It was likely Bahia but it smelled and felt like St. Augustine. His stare was cold stone. His mood is always grim. He doesn't say a word he just speaks to me through sounds of the wind. Hold your head stay up we'll sleep when we're dead. My town is a tent with a circus inside and we all die on one of the rides...
