Sideshow Blues - Jack a Roe - Sideshow Blues Songtext
von Yonder Mountain String Band

Yeah, my landlady treats me like I don′t pay my rent
Took my car to my mechanic, and I ain't seen it since
My phone is always ringing when I try to be alone
They′re gonna sell me everything from heaven to cologne
Well they got an offer I can't refuse
It's a circus out here mama, your baby′s got them sideshow blues
Yeah, it′s all a big commercial for the old man
It's a fly put in my attention span
They got all of these issues I never understood
Well, I thought if I could change anything I′d run out to Hollywood
But it's hard to kick the door down when you ain′t wearing no shoes
It's a circus out here mama, your baby′s got them sideshow blues
Sideshow
I got them sideshow blues, I wanna tame the lions
Oh, Santa Maria, them rich kids, they ain't even trying
Go from college to the big top, taking all the best positions
I'm out in this tent with all you freaks and musicians Said I′m standing here in this old good old Georgia theater
Georgia Hall of the USA singing them sideshow blues
Yeah, I got this little girlfriend, she′s the only one I've got
Then this girl I hardly even know keeps telling me she′s not
I got a loaded pistol, she waves it all the time
Saying sometimes you gotta steal a boy just to keep his ass in line
Well that's the way she saw it, saw it all on the news
It′s a circus out here mama, your baby's got them sideshow blues
People play satanic records, oh, you don′t know ML freaks
Some unquiet kid maniac, movie of the week
We're killing over cocaine, we're dying over sex
But we kneel and pray to whatever fucker cuts the checks
Well, I go to church on Sunday, I can′t help but sleep in pews
It′s a circus out here mama, your baby's got them sideshow blues
Yes, it′s a circus out here mama, your baby's got them sideshow blues
Yeah, it′s a circus out here mama, your baby's got them sideshow blues
