I ain't got no fun today

It's just like yesterday, oh yeah

Only different shades of grey

I'm bored right out of my skull

I'd have to get high just to be dull

I'm institutional

My TV screen spins around and around

And around and around



I need a sideshow

Some kinda creepshow

They ran the circus out of town

But the ring master said "Boy, you can

stick around"



I pay to see all the freaks

Some finger lickin' chicken-eating geek

Hey, that sounds cool to me

I just want to step inside

I want a scary ride, oh yeah

See Jeckyll turn to Hyde

I fell my head spinnin' round and around

And around and around



I need a sideshow, oh yeah

Some kinda creepshow, oh yeah

I just want someplace to go, oh yeah

I tried to be the circus clown

But even my monkey wouldn't hang around



And the hunchback midget and his twisted friends

Offer me a world of thrills that never end



I need a sideshow

Some kind of freaky show, oh yeah

Down where the neon glows

Just like a psychedelic video

Or a 24 hour party, go go go

Not a 90210, no

I need a sideshow

My private sideshow
