Dawn Oberg - Contortions lyrics

You made a lousy rubber man You never chose it, it sure as hell was not the plan Was the circus gig all you could land? Or where you born into the freak show tent by the cotton candy stand? So tired of contortions, and the way they won't suffice You'll put it all down on the longest odds and throw the dice Your deepest muscle tissue screams for mercy from the strain Of you trying to take on shapes you weren't meant to attain Ringmaster cracks the whip again When you can't hold the freakish pose dictated by his whim Each one more punishing than the last Each one the final proof you should kick his sadistic a** You didn't ask to be born Didn't come into this world requesting any kind of scorn There was nothing wrong with you when you arrived Not until they twisted you into what you despised What happens when you finally snap? When you can't take another nanosecond of the crap? If you could would you walk away? If you knew right down the road there'd be another place to stay?
