love hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Lyrics
Calliope ticking like a broken watch, oh-oh
Painted smiles and cracked lacquer, uh-huh
(da-da) welcome to the parade of teeth
Come closer, come closer, come closer (come on)
He spins a coin on his tongue, a silver lie
She wears her sympathy like rhinestone eyes
We trade cheap promises behind the curtain seam
Kiss me where the lights go cold, kiss me while we scream
High wire hearts, we wobble, we bend
You clap for the moment then you cut the friend
Leather boots, stained confetti on the floor
We're clowns with quiet guns, but we still want more
And when the music stops, who keeps the beat? (who keeps it?)
We grin until the fissures show, we take our seats (take a seat)
Round and round the carousel, a sugar-sick retreat
I love you then I hate you — honey, isn't that sweet?
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
You write our names in lipstick on a mirror of cracked glass
I read it backwards like a curse that always lasts
There’s a tightrope between 'please stay' and 'get out' tonight
I tug, you fall, we clap like it's a perfect plight
Carnival bones rattling in a crackerjack chest
We gamble on forgiveness, never on the rest
Fire-breather lungs and a lullaby that stings
You belt the final chorus as the carousel bell rings
The ringmaster smiles with a map of knife marks (smile, smile)
We swallow every miracle and spit out parts (spit out)
A thousand faces lined like cards we cannot keep
We deal them, hide them, fold them — laugh while we weep
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
(ha-ha) tambourine suicide, clap, clap, lace it thin
(na-na) whisper of a rope, a swing that won't begin
(heyi ya) paint my name in gold, then smear it in the rain
(heyi ya) call me yours, call me less, call me anything
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (oh-oh)
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freakCome closer, come closer, come closer (come on)
We’ll sing until the tent goes silent — oh-oh
Love, hate and endless nightmares in a circus of freak
(la-la, la-la) love, hate, love, hate — in a circus of freak
