Lyrics

[Intro]
Step right up, come one, come all, and hear the tale of the Great Circus Train Disaster
[Chorus]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go on
[Chorus]
Hey, rube
We circus folk
Fuck you
The show must go
On and on and on and on and on
To the final solution
[Verse 1]
Oh, here we go again
Another circus train disaster
Pickled punks and bearded ladies
Acrobats, two-headed babies
Zanies immolated on the pyre
[Verse 2]
Raging through time
Stalking the line
The lizard roared
I shit my drawers
[Chorus]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go on
[Chorus]
So old
Out of control
Freak show
The show must go
On and on and on and on and on
[Verse 3]
Die, pie car prostitute
My possum-belly queen
Floppy titted, crack addicted
Bite her head off like a chicken
Bleed her on the witching board
[Verse 4]
Creature must feed
A flash of gleaming teeth
Zombies crave brains
Gor Gor eats trains
[Verse 5]
Where are we going?
Switchback, the cracks are showing
Planchette broken
Ouija board's glowing
Darkest magic is flowing
Speak now these words
[Bridge]
Gather round me, hearts of black
Spirits near, we call you back
Restless souls who know no peace
Lost in limbo, no release
We command you, through the veil
Answer now without fail
[Verse 6]
Galatea
Cast the spell to free her from the
Curse, gorilla girl but worse
Train starts to whirl, it smashed into a dinosaur
It jumped the tracks, oh, what a horror
[Verse 7]
Lobster Boy hermaphrodite
Kaiju here, have a bite
Monkey's dead, he broke his head
The Strong Man might pull through though
Circus train cries out in pain
"Save the sideshow!"
[Verse 8]
Show, show, show, show
Show must go on
Show, show, show, show, show must go on, yeah
[Chorus]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go on
[Chorus]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go on
On and on and on and on and
[Chorus]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go on
[Outro]
Show
The show must go
Show
The show must go
On and on and on and on and on
To the final solution
