Residents - Everyone Comes To The Freak Show lyrics

Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Step right up and you will see on display

a collection of some of the strangest specimens ever gathered

together - both LIVE and preserved.

You will see the incredible JELLO JACK - the boneless boy and

HERMAN - The Human Mole.

You'll see WANDA - The Worm Woman and MICKEY - The

Mumbling Midget with his secret from far beyond the realm of

human understanding.

There's also Benny - Bouncing Benny The Bump who can't wait to

show you the eerie and shapeless mass which he hides beneath his

shirt and shows only when he does his famous dance -

THE BOUNCING BUMP!

So - step this way, folks come on in, you know you can't resist.

Come in and make your mundane lives look like the kiss of bliss.

Everyone comes to the Freak Show

To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks

Everyone comes to the Freak Show

But nobody laughs when they leave.

Once a man exploded just before he went to sleep

When his wife awoke she found some fragments of his feet

She wondered what had happened but there was no mouth to say

Or lips to kiss or even any tears to wipe away.

She went to see a priest and asked if death could be much worse

Than knowing what was left of love would fit inside her purse.

Someone said that nothing hurts you

Like a vice without a virtue;

That may be but is it worse than

Life when it becomes so certain

That your eyes cannot be open

To the twisted and the broken?
