Whites of eyes and faces that go black
Eyes and ears and mouths that will attack
Your attention to the center ring
Muscle men and showgirls in the wings
Fool, where did I go wrong?
Aiming to please, but striking the gong
Lions, tigers, beasts locked in a cage
Sex and defecation on display
Whips and chains to jump through hoops of fire
Deaf to applause that I desire
Fool, where did I go wrong?
Aiming to please, but striking the gong
Who fools who?
Hero, villain, jester, fool am I?
Is this a hello or a goodbye?
