Residents - Everyone Comes To The Freak Show lyrics

rate me

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and you will see on display<br />

A collection of some of the strangest specimens ever gathered<br />

Together - both LIVE and preserved.<br />

You will see the incredible JELLO JACK - the boneless boy and<br />

HERMAN - The Human Mole.<br />

You'll see WANDA - The Worm Woman and MICKEY - The<br />

Mumbling Midget with his secret from far beyond the realm of<br />

Human understanding.<br />

There's also Benny - Bouncing Benny The Bump who can't wait to<br />

Show you the eerie and shapeless mass which he hides beneath his<br />

Shirt and shows only when he does his famous dance -<br />

THE BOUNCING BUMP!<br />

So - step this way, folks come on in, you know you can't resist.<br />

Come in and make your mundane lives look like the kiss of bliss.<br />

Everyone comes to the Freak Show<br />

To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks<br />

Everyone comes to the Freak Show<br />

But nobody laughs when they leave.<br />

Once a man exploded just before he went to sleep<br />

When his wife awoke she found some fragments of his feet<br />

She wondered what had happened but there was no mouth to say<br />

Or lips to kiss or even any tears to wipe away.<br />

She went to see a priest and asked if death could be much worse<br />

Than knowing what was left of love would fit inside her purse.<br />

Someone said that nothing hurts you<br />

Like a vice without a virtue;<br />

That may be but is it worse than<br />

Life when it becomes so certain<br />

That your eyes cannot be open<br />

To the twisted and the broken?
