I ain't got no fun today

It's just like yesterday

Oh yeah

Only different shades of grey

I'm bored right out of my skull

I'd have to get high just to be dull

I'm institutional

My TV screen spins around and around and around and around

I need a sideshow

Some kinda creepshow

They ran the circus out of town

But the ring master said, "Boy, you can stick around."

I pay to see the freaks

Some finger-lickin' chicken-eating geek

Hey, that sounds cool to me

I just wanna step inside

I want a scary ride

Oh yeah

See Jekyll turn to Hyde

I feel my head spinnin' 'round and around and around and around, 'round, 'round, 'round

I need a sideshow

Oh yeah

Some kinda creepshow

Oh yeah

I just want someplace to go

Oh yeah

I tried to be the circus clown

But even my monkey wouldn't hang around

And the hunchback midget and his twisted friends

Offer me a world of thrills that never end

I need a sideshow

Some kind of freaky show

Down where the neon glows

Just like a psychedelic video

Or a 24-hour party, go go go

Not a 90210, no

I need a sideshow

My private sideshow
