Freaks and Clowns Lyrics by Jack Conte

VS3

0

Watch as I turn from a man into a hopeless, savage beast
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up
Put your money at my feet
I'm a magician, I'll say it's real
I got nothing up my, nothing up my sleeve
I hope they never find me out
I'm just a faker and a cheat
I don't know how I got into this place
But I must get out before I lose my face
And the freaks and clowns
They got their bag of tricks
And then they're down, they're out, just like a little itch
My money's on the kid with nothing but an empty cardboard box
He wants to fill it with some pretty sounds and colors of his choice
He keeps a knowing eye on everyone
He knows they're just a hoax
'Cause they tell him all at once
"You got to find the way
You got to find the way"
I don't know how I opened up my throat
But I did somehow
And it all came spilling out
And the critics, the clowns
They try to shut me up
But I won't come down
I'm happiest when I sing out loud
I'd like to make a promise to all my past and future selves
I am, I was, and will be an outcast from the caves where silence dwells
