lyrics

Life is a circus, life is grand
Tell me your innermost desires, I promise I’ll understand
I won’t go running like a white rabbit in fear
I’m an albino monkey - I’m down for whatever goes on around here

Clowns surrounding me, make sure that no one sees
They kiss me so tenderly, but if someone found out they’d never leave me alone.
No, they’d never leave me alone
Desire, what can I do? Just shut up and do it!
Desire, what can I say? I want it that way - I want it that way
Desire, what can I do? Shut up and do it again!
Desire, what can I say? Life is a circus

It’s these urges that keep me dissatisfied
It’s these urges that make me feel alive

Life is a circus, life is grand
Let’s itch our inner freak
I promise you the video won’t leak
You can dominate with horns in your hair
Put on my beard, let’s get squalid and weird

You wanna know my secrets?
I’ve been wearing this cloak of normalcy for way too long
Buried my truth deep in that fatherly shame,
Is it wrong I like blood and fear in your eyes?
I’ll bite into your wrist, put my hands on your neck…
And give it a twist (Life is a circus)

It’s these urges that keep me dissatisfied
It’s these urges that make me feel alive
It’s these urges that necessitate the lies
It’s these urges that give rise to this carnival life

Life is a circus, life is grand
It’s not that simple, when you’re joined at the nipple
