Lyrics Skittish - Welcome to the Circus

Welcome to the circus
Where you are put on display
Don't be so nervous
You really don't have a say
You've barely opened up your eyes
You've had no chance to have a life
Replace the monkey in this rotating cage
Welcome to your new home
With all the animals and freaks
We've brought the zoo home
And they've all got their own keys
Just pretend that they aren't in the room
Act the way you always do
It's never quiet so don't bother with sleep
And we will pick apart your mind
As you are breaking down
And we'll continue laughing
After all, you're just a silly clown
Pay attention to what you're saying
Make sure it's entertaining
Lights, camera, welcome to your life
Welcome to the circus
The one and only parade
Where you can serve us
Our entertainment and pay
We're eating popcorn in the stands
Conductor's striking up the band
The curtain's opening
They're lighting the stage
Welcome to this most spectacular of festivities
Where we eat off the table
While you eat off of our feet
As you will grow we won't forget
No, we'll be with you every step
Isn't it comforting to know we are here?
It's safe to say now
That you're not just a face in a crowd
We've got you in our magazines
Your world is our fantasy
Count you blessings now, child
When you're beneath the blade, we'll be right there waiting...
Hanging on your every word, We're hanging on your every word,
We're hanging for your every word, We're hanging for your every word,
We'll hang you for your every word, We'll hang you, take you down.
