LYRICS
Hogarth
 

"We didn't lie to you, folks. We told you we had living, breathing, monstrosities. You'll laugh at them, shudder at them, and yet, but for the accident of birth, you might be even as they are. They did not ask to be brought into the world, but into the world they came. Their code is a law unto themselves. Offend one, and you offend them all!"

Can you feel my skin
Can you feel my bones
Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home

So unpleasant inside and out
So unpleasant inside and out
If you like I'll tell you about it
You wouldn't want to know

My heads full of water
Tears I never cried
Could you hold me under the shower
In the cold outside

So unsteady inside and out
So unsteady inside and out
If you like I'll tell you about it
You wouldn't want to be

Separated out
Separated out
Separated out

I need medical attention
Where's my memory gone
Everything I told you - including this,
I already forgot

Separated out
From the living stream
The thing that couldn't lie straight
Straight in the machine

So unstable inside and out
Don't know how much longer I'll take it
If you like I'll sell you a ticket
Or you can get in for free

Am I enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Am I enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see

"And now, folks, if you'll just step this way, you are about to witness the most amazing, the most astounding, living monstrosity of all time."

Can you feel my skin
Can you feel my bones
Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home
Can you kiss my face
Let me know it's there
Can you give it shape
Can you kinda care

Am I enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see

Enough
Enough

They're pointing and laughing
They're pointing and laughing at me

"We accept her--one of us--gooble, gobble--we accept her--one of us--gooble, gobble..."

"You, dirty, slimy...FREAKS!... FREAKS!... FREAKS!...Get out of here!"
"Get out! You heard her! Get out!"
