lyrics

GRIMSBY'S SILVER CIRCUS

You have entered
Grimsby's Silver Circus
Billy Blur begins to swirl
just like a tilter whirl
leaving blue vapor behind
Cheetah Chelsea
whips up cotton candy
sips her glass of brandy
keeps a blow torch handy
to caramelize your wildest desires

CHORUS
“Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
Hurry Hurry Hurry!
Come see Ramshackled Ricky
relinquish his grip on reality!
Witness The Salacious Sassafrass
salivate before your very eyes!
Get your hot dogs and your soft drinks
and join our world of magical splendor
and unfathomable chaos!
Hurry hurry hurry!”

up above a bottomless inferno
Baldwin walks the tight rope
balancing between hope
and a guaranteed demise
the skeletons of harlequins sing off-key:
"Gee, but I'd give the world to see
that old gang of mine...
lost in the depths of pantomime"

CHORUS
“Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Up next, we'll have The Pixelated Peter
from Pennsylvania
pull another pin from his pelvis!
Observe Dazzling Deanna daringly dance
with the dandelions of death!
Fair-weather friends, grab a balloon!
The nitrous tank is full.
This buzz will never fade.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”
