Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Richard Shindell - A Juggler Out In Traffic
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: Am C F Dm Am C F G Am
C F
I'm a juggler out in traffic
Dm Am
Just another clown
C F G Am
Throwing fire at the sky
C F
You are facing forward
G Am
Heading out of town
Em F
Just waiting for the light
Dm F Dm
Here together in the street
Em Dm
The way it is, we never meet
Am
Red goes green and you go by
INTERLUDE: C F Dm Am C F Dm Am
C F
When I go 'round for the change
Dm Am
I go from car to car
C F G Am
With my jester's cap in hand
C F
When I tried to catch your eye
G Am
You'd always look away
Em F G Dm
Rush to roll your window up
F Dm
I never lingered there for long
Em Dm
Time the light and move along
Am C F Dm
Red goes green and you'd go by
Am C F
You'd go by____
BRIDGE:
Em Dm
Switch from bowling pins to fire
C
I did it all for you
Dm
You, gunning off into what future
C G
I did it all for you
INTERLUDE: Am C F Dm (3x)
Am Em F G Am
C F
And I'm still out here at midnight
Dm Am
Looking for the stars
C F G Am
Through the streetlamp glow
C F
Just a juggler out in traffic
G Am
With a broken heart
Em F G Dm
For it's later than you know
F Dm
Here together in the street
Em Dm
The way it is, we never meet
Am C F Dm
Red goes green and you go by
Am C F Dm
You go by____
Am C
One, then two, then three, then one
F Dm
Atoms round an empty sun
Am C
One, then two, then three, then one
F Dm
This is how the trick is done
Am C
One, then two, then three, then one
F Dm
A centrifuge, a cyclotron
Am C
One, then two, then three, then one
F Dm Am
Glory be thy trick be done
