REM - Circus Envy lyrics

rate me

Here comes that awful feeling again

Welcome the ugly animal.

I hold my breath to watch you swing,

My high rope acrobat ball and chain,

I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

Here comes that awful feeling again

Make way for monster jealousy

The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl

I'd spelled your name with Oatios,

he messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I am tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

(you're mean, mean, mean

you tease, tease, tease me)

If I were you I'd really run from me

I'd really really wish that I were you

When I get loose I'll climb a tree

and drop a load on your head

This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I am jealous of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command

(you're mean, mean, mean

you tease, tease, tease me)

Do you smell jealousy?

Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?
