Step inside the tent ladies and gentlemen to see

The freak they call Jacko the dog face man

He walks like a man and talks like a man

But was born with the face of a dog

An actual freak of nature



Bright Lights

Blind me

And I am whizzing by the people

Pushing rushing to the music

And my eyes are running

And my legs are aching

And there are people winning

And the carnivals spinning



Merry go round

Go round

And they make me dizzy

People shouting as they shot and win



And my head is ringing

My ears are flitting

And my hair is thinning

And the carnivals spinning





After the people have gone

I walk along down sideshow ally

And from the tent I hear some crying

The sound of someone in pain



And written brightly on the canvas and woodwork

So that everybody could see

Was the question they pose to the public

When is a man not a man

When he's a freak in the sideshow



But we all got to cry

Yes, we all got to cry

And we all got to cry

Bright lights blind me

And I am questioned by the people

Pushing rushing

To the organ grinders music



And my eyes are running

And my legs are achy

And their are people crying

And the carnivals dying
