The Freak Show

Lyrics for The Freak Show

I should take what's left of this for myself I've had the pieces stripped By long hands feeding small minds And I never thought that this could come back I failed to do it right And took long strides into the firing line And the less I feel alive the less I feel alive Who lifts the sin from the man? From the corner of the ring we gave up The optimist had died, leaving the black side to tow the line Who is the sin from the man, who is the sin? Looks like it's gonna be another one of those rainy days again Another Face In A Window They're all the same, assimilated And here am I born of a lost cause The underdog, an alien in drag, dying So who's to say there's any shame in being alone when the dogs are outside In packs of ten, their muzzles removed, biting I tried to save my inner sanctum While all around were still playing with fire The fact remains I've never been moved to sell myself I don't want to be another face in a window Seeing life through a screen, bathed in a warm glow Fade like so
