lyrics

Welcome to the corrupting black genius
Of Dr Jack Hacksaws Circus Most Hideous
A freakshow of things that are seen only in dreams
A collection of gorgeous ungodly unseens.

On come the clowns with a face splitting grin
They beat you about with an old rolling pin
They have comical flowers that look quite flacid
But get up too close and they squirt battery acid.

A candle burns bright in a dark caravan
As the fat lady fucks the worlds smallest man
Who squeeks like a mouse when he's about to erupt
And dreams of young girls that he'd like to corrupt

The fat lady fucks for money or for food
The pleasure she gets just a small interlude
Between courses of cream and chocolate and cake
And any odd dish that her lovers can make

The worlds smallest man has fucked only one other
Back when he was young and slept with his mother
Who trained for Jacks circus as a sleek acrobat
until she fell badly and broke her strong back

A young boy backs off from the old Bearded Lady
She's proud but wishes that sometime just maybe
A rich man would take her to someplace quite sunny
And she'd poison his food and run off with his money

Jack Hacksaw counts cash on an old kitchen table
Running the circus has made him unstable
He carries a flick and quite often pickpockets
His customers wallets, watches and lockets

He hates the people that think they are normal
With their funny cloth shirts and looking so formal
He'd rather his freaks with tattoos and their piercings
Bones through their noses and skulls on their earings
