Our eyes squint in the morning light
Our brains are bruised, the sun’s too bright
Still we drag twisted limbs through streets
Where twisted faces scowl uptight
We stumble through the silent streets
And long for somewhere to retreat
Somewhere to curl inside and sleep
We've been awake three days and nights
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
Friday was the first of it
We owned this fucking town
And Saturday we got so high
That our feet left the ground
Then Sunday morning came and went
Its evening still resounds
Now Monday morning’s come around
And still we’ve not come down
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
And my head spins around
Swirling in sickness
Oh the circus
The circus is in town
First up and then I’m down
With queasy quickness
Oh the circus
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
La la la
La la la
The circus is in town
La la la la
La la la
La la la
The circus is in town
And once when we were flying high
We’d not look back, we’d not look down
But now we’re heading for a dive
Headfirst into the stony ground
Our wretched souls know only loss
And there is nothing to be found
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've not come down
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
We are the freaks, we are the clowns
'Cause Monday morning's come around
And still we've nowhere near come down
The circus is in town
