lyrics

You lost your mind while breaking the fourth wall
in your internal movie
You're just a middle class American
dream chasing Kool-Aide drinker
Don’t come here because the dream is false

Don't believe the hype do what's right
Get back in line kick scream claw fight
You've got to find a shortcut but there is no way out
Embrace the twilight
I've got something I think you need to see

Hear the sound of my maniacal calliope
Come and ride my carousel from hell for free
So grab the ring and hold on tight
Your prize will be revealed tonight
Until then just close your eyes and glide,
on my painted pony ride

Skip The Bobs, The Chutes, the freaks, the Tilt-A-Whirl
and the Tunnel Of Hate
Step right up and see the Dog Faced Boy pontificate

Hear the sound of my maniacal calliope
Things aren't always what they seem to be
So grab the ring and hold on tight
Your prize will be revealed tonight
Until then just close your eyes and glide,
on my painted pony ride

Skip The Bobs, The Chutes, the freaks, the Tilt-A-Whirl
and the Tunnel Of Hate
Step right up and see this dog faced boy pontificate
