3ringsleft - Freak Show Lyrics

Step right up, come one, come all
You don't wanna miss this
Every circus has its clown
And I'm their main attraction
Lips sewn shut, smile painted on
Watch my transformation
Topsy-turvy tragedy
Here for your entertainment

Death-defying, awe-inspiring
Nothing up my sleeve
All eyes on me

Welcome to the freak show
It's a mad parade
Where infamous is famous
And decadence is king
Loaded dice and loaded glasses in their hands
My kingdom for an honest man
A carousel I'll never get off
'Cause the show must go on
And on, and on, and on, and on

Smoke and mirrors, masquerades
All night for your pleasure
It's a festival of fools
And I'm their favorite jester
Who needs truth when you're amused?
Keep the lions laughing
Lusting for their pound of flesh
And I'm up for the grabbing

Fun for all ages
Standing ovations
The one and only
All hands on me

Welcome to the freak show
It's a mad parade
Where infamous is famous
And decadence is king
Loaded dice and loaded glasses in their hands
My kingdom for an honest man
A carousel I'll never get off
'Cause the show must go on
And on, and on, and on, and on

Bread and circuses make the world go round
Bread and circuses make the world go round...

(Welcome to the big top, darling
Nothing's as it seems
Sensation of the century
Come and bend a knee to me)

(Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Pay no attention to the man)

Round and round and
Round and round and
Round and round and
Round

Welcome to the freak show
It's a mad parade
Where infamous is famous
And decadence is king
Loaded dice and loaded glasses in their hands
My kingdom for an honest man
A carousel I'll never get off

Welcome to the freak show
It's a mad parade
Where infamous is famous
And decadence is king
Loaded dice and loaded glasses in their hands
My kingdom for an honest man
A carousel I'll never get off
'Cause the show must go on

(Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
Pay no attention to the man)

And on, and on, and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
