[Intro] UEE HEE HEE! Knock knock knock knock! Knock, knock, little hearts, come rattle my room, Turn the key, twist the latch, let the carnival bloom. Step right up, step right in, let the scoreboards spin, When the numbers all fall, that is when I win! [Verse] Once I capered for a court with a grin stitched wide, Played a tune for the bored ones all puffed with pride. Then a stranger leaned close with a secret to share, And the walls went soft, and the strings filled the air. Now the cards all bend and the rules all crawl, Every corridor is a cage dressed up as a hall. They can bolt every door, stack the stones to the sky, Still I’m freer than the fools who forgot how to fly. [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, little darlings, the table turns, Every lesson that you worship twists and burns. Clap along, tap along, hear the whole thing sing, I can turn a lock to lace, make a jailhouse swing! [Chorus] Chaos, chaos, come dance with me, I’m the only one here with the eyes to see. Spin it, grin it, let the whole board reel, Every cut, every card, every wheel is real. Free, free, that is my decree, While the world builds a box and hands it the key. Laugh, laugh, let the rafters ring, I can do most anything! [Verse] Seam knew me back when the jokes were small, Back before I learned the trick beneath it all. Now I giggle in a cell and the kings all cope, Wrapping chains round their fear, calling that “hope.” Find the pieces, mend the key, come visit below, Take the path where the starless pathways go. Bring your knight and your brute and the goat in green, I will show you what a game and a dream can mean. [Pre-Chorus] HP dropping, hearts popping, hear the crowd all cheer, Every step you take just brings the punchline near. Duck and weave, plead and pray, try to keep your thread, But the spring in my neck just bounces when I’m hit instead! [Chorus] Chaos, chaos, come dance with me, I’m the only one here with the eyes to see. Spin it, grin it, let the whole board reel, Every cut, every card, every wheel is real. Free, free, that is my decree, While the world builds a box and hands it the key. Laugh, laugh, let the rafters ring, I can do most anything! [Bridge] Hearts fall down and the clubs take aim, Diamonds rise up just to join the game. Spades swirl round in a wicked ring, Scythes swing low while the bells all sing. Carousel, carousel, horses glide, Ducks bob past in a crooked line. Then the knife comes down from the vaulted black, Miss a beat, little player, and you won’t bounce back! [Verse] Still I’m not just a cackle and a painted sneer, There’s a storm on the march and it’s drawing near. There’s a hand in the dark moving piece by piece, And the next big laugh will not end in peace. So go on, little heroes, get strong, get wise, See how far that resolve still survives my eyes. Take me up, do your strongest, give the wheel one fling, But you cannot stop the world revolving. [Outro] UEE HEE HEE! Bye-bye! Bye-bye!
