under this canvas he hides a dream
a trick of the type too cheap to be free
makes your burgeoning inquiry

more easily answered
oh a sight they have come to see
we shan't disappoint they've paid for a scene

and a scene they shall have indeed
this dark, dark evening
join us inside that's the way here come now

just step right up in line it's freaks, fools, and fire
come nearer, come closer, it's nearly time
you there and you there come one and all

it looks better in red my calico friend
let us brood on the hue of need
what finds your favor

no the show must go on instead
with hundreds of eyes at two to a head
and the blindness is thrice complete

when all stand watching
step aside make way for the star's presence
better beware there's light and glittering

gaze deeper, stare harder it's nearly time
you there and you there come one and all


so please
so have you ever wondered
where are the demons they told us of

be patient they're coming
shortly revealed to you and I
do you think you'll find a dead ringer, dead ringer

much still hides you curious minds
there's no hurry
my where are my manners round and round

why I believe they've all arrived
out, out from the wings
set all the props in place

lower the lights and wait
now in the middle let them watch let the spectacle rise
hold your breath the suspense

leads the elegant dead eyes
more than them will you spend
for the vision of your life

but the curtains fall down
look now and see
that's quite the motley disguise you've borrowed

my friend it seems quite odd but
you are the show you've paid for
step through the mirror

and now the circus spins on and on so
come one come all tonight
