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 ladies on the horses look so pretty
  and the lions are lookin 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 freedom
  it's about faking
  there's an art to the laughter
  there's a science
  and there's a lot of love
  and compliance
  
  welcoem 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 off death
  and we can make somethig bigger
  then anyone of us alone
  and then the clowns will take off 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 tent comes down
  and they're stuck in this fucking town
  
  you need a lot of love and compliance
  
  welcome to the freakshow
  here we go
