The breath of hope And a clown that bites Bring the coldest days And the darkest night Merry goes round and round the bushes Carny hushers striking poses Drive the worms out of my head Put that needle to the red Take me to the mouth of the monster The sun pours down in golden shower Drink and drink from the five gallon drum On your knees for the thirst to come This way golden beauties and cancan cuties Speedway thrills at 100 smiles per hour Sammy Savage will send you on a swirl with a bonifide half girl Whose other half was torn real nice With Frosty Feldman's block of ice Stick out your tongues creepy crew They stick on ice like flies on glue If you're a little drunk on the tightrope wire
From the s**er's seat the illusion's fine If a foot might slip and the safeties fails On the long way down grab the devil's tail Up and again onto my feet Blow away into the street Don't want to come down cause we're so high Bigger than hope, faster than lies Take me to the mouth of the monster The sun pours down in golden shower Fakes and friends and flakes and freaks The red of sky is just the blood in your eyes Merry goes round and round the bushes Carny hushers striking poses Take the wheel to the grave Drive the worms out of my head Take a bite of the pillow Here is a bitter pill to swallow Fakes and friends and flakes and freaks The red of sky is just the red in your eyes
