Carnival Of Pain
Step right up and sit right down
We're so happy you're here again
With a painted smile on a tear-stained clown
At the carnival of pain
We've got funhouse people who laugh at you
And mirrors to spotlight your shame
Everyone's got a grandstand view
At the carnival of pain
Jugglers with knives and lawyers with wives
Armed to attack the plain
Trapped in two minds about their lives
At the carnival of pain
Freak show geeks kick and spit at you
From the crippled to the insane
Formless mouths drool screams at you
At the carnival of pain
Cotton candy to stick in your throat
Brightens your teeth with a sweet bloodstain
Just like the seat of the lover's boat
At the carnival of pain
We've got life like rides that only take
You back where you started again
Only older, sicker, and starting to shake
At the carnival of pain
Cold sweat on your skin that's starting to smell
Only gets worse as it starts to rain
Encased in oil as it starts to jell
At the carnival of pain
Children run and hide from you
Behind their parents and cry in vain
While the grown-ups laugh and ridicule
Till there's nothing left at all
