Lyrics for Nobody Laughs When They Leave.

Everyone comes to the Freak Show To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks Everyone comes to the Freak Show But nobody laughs when they leave. We are only equal in the grave and in the dark Said a man whose head was halfway eaten by a shark Now if you ask me why I would continue on like this I doubt that I would know so I could only make a guess Half a mouth may not be much but it's still half a kiss. Everyone comes to the Freak Show To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks Life is a lot like the Freak Show Nobody laughs when they leave.
