my freak monster

Lyrics

Verse
Jakey bought a tent and a coat of red
Counting every dollar in his greedy head
He saw his buddy Tick-Tock standing in the rain
Decided he could turn a profit on the pain

Chorus
Step right up and see the show
Watch the gears begin to slow
The funniest thing I ever knew
Is what a man can turn into
Is what a man can turn into

Verse
He put him in a cage under yellow light
Wound the key until the springs were tight
Tick-Tock’s daughter cried from the second row
But the boss man told her she had to go

Chorus
Step right up and see the show
Watch the gears begin to slow
The funniest thing I ever knew
Is what a man can turn into
Is what a man can turn into

Verse
The metal started skinning and the skin turned gray
Tick-Tock screamed as he rotted away
He’s a mountain of hunger with a heavy mask
Jakey’s just counting all the gold in his flask

Bridge
The crowd is screaming, running for the door
There’s blood and sawdust all over the floor
Jakey’s in the corner with a wicked grin
Asking when the second act can begin

Chorus
Step right up and see the show
Watch the gears begin to slow
The funniest thing I ever knew
Is what a man can turn into
Is what a man can turn into

Outro
Look at him now
He’s a monster now
And it’s funny
It’s so funny
