[INTRO] Spotted you at Dotty's Diner, Lone booth by the window glass, Graveyard shift, that tired liner— Perfect timing, Poppet's off last. [VERSE 1 - Male] You want to go to a freak show? We have many things for you to see, Come with me, just beyond these trees... [growls low] Got a real good use for youuuu. [Chorus] Come here, Poppet, join my family, Ain't no leavin' this midway, Where the broken find their remedy, In the freaks who stayed, Come here, Poppet, don't you scramble, Got a bed and got a name, In my collection, watch you crumble— Welcome to the Freak Show game. [VERSE 2 - Female, panicked] Get away from me, you bastard! My name ain't Poppet, hear me clear! Let me go, you sick-ass master— Help me, somebody, HELP ME HERE! [VERSE 2B - Male, crooning menace] Struggle all you want, sweet darlin', The music drowns out your screams See them lurking in the shadows? Everyone here belongs to ME, Stitched-up smiles and empty eyes? Time for you to do as a I please [one of uss] [CHORUS - Male & backing voices, sinister] Come here, Poppet, join my family, Ain't no leavin' this midway, Where the broken find their remedy, In the freaks who stayed, Come here, Poppet, quit your cryin', Got a mirror made of scars, You'll fit perfect, stop your tryin'— You're the brightest of my stars. hahahahahahaha [drums solo] [BRIDGE - Male, unhinged, building frenzy] I got 16 in cages, 16 who tried to run, Read their stories, read their pages, Tattooed names with my gun. Ma's face lives on my shoulder, But you're prettier and colder— GOTCHA! Now you're mine Dance along the dotted line Can't escape the big top now Take a bow, take a bow, take a bow [menacing] I'm the ringmaster of pain Welcome to my domain Come one! come all! Got a brand-new freak show girl! (hahahahahahaha) *[Manic laughter, synth swells]* **[FINAL CHORUS - Triumphant Group]** Welcome to the freak show, Poppet Lights on, scream for me You're my masterpiece Join my band of broken souls You're the prize I stole Welcome to the freak show, Poppet Welcome to the freak show, Welcome home [OUTRO - Male, fading carnival whisper] Come here, Poppet... (Come here, Poppet...) Join the show... (Join the show...) Aint no leavin' home (one of usss) (one of usss) (one of usss)
