and she was snorting gasoline
on a rock by the stream
her head down in the grass
and a hat on her ass

she looked so strange
alone and upside down
and she wore her makeup
like a demented clown

heaven help her,
draped in fur
screaming "oh jesus
save me baby jesus"

this is such a freakshow
when she burrows underground
and its a fun house
with the street full of sound

and the man next door
is nailed to the floor
with his arms spread wide
and trapped inside

the girl across the road
carries a heavy load
with rocks strapped to her back
in one large tartan sack

and all i do is watch them
and try to find them
sit on the roof all day
and understand the way
they move
they talk
they live
they die

this is such a freakshow
living in this street
and its a fun house
but you might as well move with the beat...
