I'm not going to plant you a butterfly kiss
Grinning as children's balloons are popping
I'm not going to show you anything at all
As long as you shriek when the curtains dropping
I'm jumping from one white mirage to the next
You're swinging the saw, but I'm the one chopping.

We need to try harder- we're loosing our status
I'm rushing the freaks out onto the stage
And I know the crowd will deny what it's seeing
But it's pretty common in this day and age
To have your ribs shattered by the spiteful tiger
That paces, starving, up and down its cage
If she tries to trap you, please do not engage.
See, she's on another rampage, since she's teenage.

You might have been trembling in my situation
It may seem like total horror in here
But when I call out to the viewers below
I'm suddenly cheerful, my words cavalier
I explain to them, I give them details
And honestly, it's been like this all year
While it is severe- would you interfere?
And they understand by popular demand.

Besides, I'm the main act in this circus
So it is most likely she wants some attention
My routine is coming for you kids to watch,
And oh,
There's that bleeding fact I didn't mention
I've got rubber bones, and this tent's my invention
I keel, and they murmur their own apprehension.

Then I'm all knotted up
And the audience's shocked
I remember that one second that our lips locked
And look, it's all done.

I was made to stun.

You won't stop saying it's just begun...
You won't accept that maybe I've won.

And

I won't admit that this was a disaster
Because I'm the tiger, the twist, and ringmaster.
