Trash and vaudeville

Tight dresses and painted faces

It's time to free the lions

From the circus cages

Jaded baby

Come whisper in my ear

Better come closer 'cause

The music is loud here

I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of

I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams

Deep inside

Don't you have a little bit of sympathy

Don't you want to

Give me some affection

Why's it so hard

Don't you get tired

Same smilin' faces

Don't you get a little bit lonely

Hiding in crowded places

Don't trust the stranger

You should know better

But this heart of darkness

Can be your shelter

I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here

I ain't gonna meet your momma and daddy

Ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did

Don't you want to

Give me some affection

Why's it so hard
