lirik lagu sideshow blues (live 2011) – todd snider

[verse 1]
my landlady treats me like i don’t even pay my rent
gave my car to my mechanic and i ain’t seen it since
my phone is always ringing when i wanna be alone
they’re tryin’ to sell me everything from heaven to cologne

[refrain 1]
everybody’s got an offer
that i just can’t refuse
it’s a circus out here, mama
your baby’s got them sideshow blues

[verse 2]
it’s all a big commercial, it’s the video of man
it’s a plot to put an end to my attention span
they make up all these issues i never understood
if i thought i could change things i’d run out to hollywood

[refrain 2]
but it’s so hard to kick a door down
when you ain’t wearin’ no shoes
it’s a circus out here, mama
your baby’s got them sideshow blues

[chorus]
i got them sideshow blues
i want to tame a lion
these center-ring rich kids
they ain’t even trying
they go from college to the big time
takin’ the best positions
while i’m out in this tent
with all these freaks and musicians
out in this tent
with all you freaks and musicians
i’m moanin’ them sideshow blues

[verse 3]
i try to tell my girlfriend, she’s the only one that i’ve got
there’s a girl i hardly even know keeps on telling her that she’s not
she’s got a loaded pistol, waves it all the time
she says “sometimes you have’ta k!ll a boy just to keep his -ss in line”

[refrain 3]
at least that’s the way she sees it
she says saw it on the news
it’s a circus out here, mama
your baby’s got them sideshow blues

[verse 4]
people play satanic records, man you don’t know when they’ll freak
from a quiet kid into a maniac into a movie of the week
we’re k!lling over cocaine, we’re dying over s-x
we’re bowing down and praying to who’ll gon’ cut some checks

[refrain 4]
then i go to church on sunday
and brothers and sisters, let me tall ya something, i cannot help but sleep in the pew
it’s a circus out here, mama
your baby’s got them sideshow blues
it’s a circus out here, mama
your baby’s got them sideshow blues

[outro]
i’ll see y’all in just a second
