Where in the world have you been It's as strange as I've ever lived So you're comin' along to the sideshow I'll be fallin' all over like Dominos For girls are sad in their eyes They're all standin' around bein' hypnotized And walkin' me back to the firin' line You smile to get in the door You can't keep it closed anymore Tell your ma that you're gone to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival Just scratchin' a stitch' in a skin I'm moanin' for more of the medicine In the mornin' you're wonderin' where ya been Just turnin' your back to the ghost And tryin' to look like you just might know That all of the good that you've seen Just went down and into the drain Oh kids, am I straight out for now? In the mornin', I'm gonna find it on out What in the world can it be It's as strange as I've ever seen The girls are dead in their eyes Just standin' around like they're hypnotized Who'll follow me back to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival And I am gone The kid's in a straight out for now In the mornin', I'm wanna find it on out What in the world can it be It's as strange as I've ever seen The girls are dead in their eyes Just standin' around like they're hypnotized Who'll follow me back to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival And I am gone
