There’s no ground beneath me No net to catch me No one to save me Nothing to stop me from falling I jumped willing This circus came to town And everyone’s here for a show Come one, come all Step right up to see the freak show Grab your popcorn Grab your chair and prepare for a good time Up the ladder I climb Up and up and up and up Ready to go Ready to leave them wondering if the red soaked ground is part of the act. But my neck has cracked

The Freak Show
There’s no ground beneath me No net to catch me No one to save me Nothing to stop me from falling I jumped willing This circus came to town And everyone’s here for a show Come one, come all Step right up to see the freak show Grab your popcorn Grab your chair and prepare for a good time Up the ladder I climb Up and up and up and up Ready to go Ready to leave them wondering if the red soaked ground is part of the act. But my neck has cracked
Not the act.
