lyrics

I'll fit in a box to be sawed in half/ I'll reel around for the laughs, laughs, laughs/ I'll try the trapeze once, but it doesn't look easy/ I'd like to believe that the hands would be there/ But I'm more relaxed with the dancing bear, who's drugged anyway and soon to be lured to the taxidermist's private lair/ I'm candyfloss-pink-in-the-cheeks when I hear the fickle crowd and the cheers, cheers, cheers/ It sounds just like money/ It sounds just like something that's good for the ears/ I wrestle the midgets to try to feel tall/ I secretly wait for the barker's call/ But he likes his own voice/ He likes his own most of all/ I'm a pachyderm burden between the towns/ I can't even laugh with the suicidal clowns/ And the fat lady's singing, but all I can think of is "I can't hear a sound, not a sound"/ Stilted, I walk myself into the ring/ Drawn to the centre of everything/ Puffed up and hopeful again, and again, and again/ And this is the carnival I'm in/
