Lyrics for Freakshow by Ani Difranco:
| | | Artist: | Ani Difranco |
| | Album: | To The Teeth | | Track: | Freakshow | | | | Date Added: | 24/10/2007 | | Views: | 54 | | | | Lyrics: | life in the circus ain't easy
but the folks on the outside don't know
the tent goes up
and the tent comes down
and all that they see is the show
and the laides on the horses
look so pretty
and the lions are looking real mad
and some of the clowns are happy
/>
and some of the clowns are sad
but underneath
there's another
expression
that the makeup isn't making
life under the big top
it's about
freedome
it's about faking
there's an art to the laughter
there's a science
/>
and there's alot of love
and compliance
welcome to the freakshow
/>
here we go...
we live to hear the slack-jawed gasping
we live under a halo
of held breath
and when the children raise up a giant shield
of laughter, it's like
they're fending of death
and we can make something bigger
than any of us alone
/>
and then the clowns will take of their makeup
and the people will go home
/>
but life on the outside ain't easy
no sequins, no elephants
no parading around
/>
yeah, the tent goes up
and the ten comes down
and they're stuck in this fucking
town
you need alot of love and compliance
welcome to the freakshow
/>
