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?
