Ladies and Gentlemen

It’s like I’m living in Las Vegas
Not that I’ve ever been there
The TV Las Vegas in my head
Some strange planet based on a circus philosophy
Clowns and freaks
The clowns and freaks don’t get along
And I’m not sure which side I’m on yet
But there’s a growing concern that I may be one of the animals
Exploited and restrained
Bring me the greasepaint, quickly
‘Cause if I hit that stage from a cage, I don’t know what I’ll do
Maybe I’ll eat the ringmaster
