Freakshow - The Cure

I can’t believe it I must be dreaming

She turns the sound down

Says «I am heaving

This is a freakshow»

and I am screaming

She spins the world round

I want to stop

Bittersweet again

Her opening move

Down and out in black

Soft shiny and smooth

Looks like the alien crowd got groove

She burns her name into my arm

but I can never get through

To play the game she’s trying to lose

Her ultraviolet makes it harder to choose

Looks like the edge of the earth got moved

She blurs a way across the floor

I spin to swallow the view

And it’s the same sway

yeah it’s the same slide

It’s the same stare

Oh it’s the same smile

Yeah it’s the same but…

it’s not quite right

Oh it’s insane

She shakes like a freak

Stuck in the middle of the room for a week

Looks like the only way to get on the beat

Is take her up on how to swing

But I am missing my feet

And it’s the same sway

Yeah it’s the same slide

It’s the same swish

Oh it’s the same smile

Yeah it’s the same but…

It’s not quite right

I’m in a step… out!

She two more steps… down!

For three steps up… clap!

And go around… ow!

It makes my head buzz

She wants to come now

I try to stop

Always infradig her finishing move

Up and down in black

Soft shiny and smooth

Looks like the alien crowd got groove

She cuts a number out my arm

But I can never get through

To play this game she’s trying to lose

The stuff from Mars makes it harder to choose

Looks like the final frontier got moved

She blurs a way across the floor

I spin to swallow the view

And it’s the same sway

Yeah it’s the same slide

it’s the same strip

oh it’s the same smile

Yeah it’s the same but it’s not quite right…

I can’t believe it I must be dreaming

She turns the lights up Says she is leaving

This is a freakshow

and I am beaten…

She spins the world round

I have to stop.
