Trash and vaudeville Tight dresses and painted faces It's time to free the lions From the circus cages Jaded baby Come whisper in my ear Better come closer 'cause The music is loud here I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams Deep inside Don't you have a little bit of sympathy Don't you want to Give me some affection Why is it so hard Don't you get tired Same smilin' faces Don't you get a little bit lonely Hiding in crowded places Don't trust the stranger You should know better But this heart of darkness Can be your shelter I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did Don't you want to Give me some affection Why is it so hard
