Lyrics The Gothic Archies

The Gothic Archies

Freakshow

people gawk at the way you walk

you're a freakshow

people squawk 'bout the way you talk

you're a freakshow

people stare at your scary hair

you're a freakshow

people glare at that hat you wear

you're a freakshow

real people want to know

what it is about your face that irritates them so

real people stop and ask

why you wear that costume, and why don't you wear a mask?

normal folk think you're just a joke

and a freakshow

normal types cross the street for swipes

at the freakshow

even birds stop to drop their turds

on the freakshow

even geeks, even other freaks

hate the freakshow

real people fume and seethe

how you dare to share the air the public has to breathe

real people ask you why

with a face like you've got, won't you just lie down and...

real people look on you

like something unpleasant for the garbage crew to do

real people question how

someone took a lobster's face

and put it on a cow

real people say, har, har

as a monster movie actor you could be a star

and soon, you are!
