freakshow

i can't believe it, i must be dreaming

she turns the sound down

says, "i am heaving

this is a freakshow"



and i am screaming

she spins the world round

i want to stop



bittersweet again

her opening move

down and out in black

soft shiny and smooth



looks like the alien

crowd got groove

she burns her name into my arm

but i can never get through



to play the game

she's trying to lose

her ultraviolet makes it

harder to choose



looks like the edge

of the earth got moved

she blurs a way across the floor

i spin to swallow the view



and it's the same sway

yeah, it's the same slide

it's the same stare, oh



it's the same smile

yeah, it's the same but

it's not quite right



oh, it's insane

she shakes like a freak

stuck in the middle

of the room for a week



looks like the only way

to get on the beat

is take her up on how to swing

but i am missing my feet



and it's the same sway

yeah, it's the same slide

it's the same stare, oh



it's the same smile

yeah, it's the same but

it's not quite right



i'm in a step, out

she two more steps down

for three steps up, clap

and go around, ow



it makes my head buzz

she wants to come now

i try to stop



always infra dig her

finishing move

up and down in black

soft shiny and smooth



looks like the alien

crowd got groove

she cuts a number out my arm

but i can never get through



to play this game

she's trying to lose

the stuff from mars

makes it harder to choose



looks like the final frontier got moved

she blurs a way across the floor

i spin to swallow the view



and it's the same sway

yeah, it's the same slide

it's the same strip, oh



it's the same smile

yeah, it's the same

but it's not quite right



i can't believe it, i must be dreaming

she turns the lights up

says she is leaving

this is a freakshow



and i am beaten

she spins the world round
