Freaks & Animals

Under this canvas, he hides a dream
 A trick of the type too cheap to be free
 Makes your bourgeoning inquiry
 More easily answered
 Oh, a sight they have come to see
 We shan't disappoint
 They've paid for a scene
 And a scene they shall have indeed
 This dark, dark evening
 Join us inside that's the way here
 Come now, just step right up in line
 It's freaks fools and fire
 Come nearer, come closer
 It's nearly time
 You there and you there and come one and all
 ♪
 It looks better in red, my calico friend
 Let us brood on the hue of need
 What finds your favor?
 Oh, the show must go on instead
 With hundreds of eyes at two to a head
 And the blindness is thrice complete
 When all stand watching
 Step aside make way for the stars presence
 Better beware there's lights and glittering
 Gaze deeper, stare harder it's nearly time
 You there and you there and come one and all so plain
 So have you ever wondered
 Where were the demons they told us of
 Be patient their coming shortly revealed to you and I do think you'll find
 A dead ringer, a dead ringer
 Much still hides you curious minds
 There's no hurry
 Now where are my manors round and around
 Why I believe they've all arrived
 ♪
 Out, out from the wings
 Set all the props in place
 ♪
 Lower the lights and wait
 
 Now bring them in let them watch
 Let the spectacle rise
 Hold you breath
 The suspense leads the arrogant dead eyes
 More than them will you spend for the vision of your life
 ♪
 Let the curtains fall down
 Look now and see
 That's quite the motley
 Disguise you've borrowed
 My friend, it seems quite odd
 But you are the show you've paid for
 Step through the mirror
 And now the circus spins on and on
 So, come one, come all tonight
