Lyrics
Circus Maximus
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Will you be entertained by beast and knives?
Vital mentalisms will blow your minds!
Cthulu's red headed step child, quite the precocious babe.
We like to keep it on the D.L. because our clientele prefers it that way
The seven legged sow will see to the after-show.
Don't you think the candelabra gives a pleasant glow?
Now may I present to you the basilisk?
Please dawn your goggles if you wish to resist.
From the fiery depths of the planet's core
The never sleeping for wont of eating unholy stench of the manticore.
Please produce your access pass, no photographs please.
Some of our guests are how shall I say? Hyperbolic V.I.P.
There is a velvet room for the discriminating pack.
Celebrities and tentacles regard the beast with two backs.
The seven legged sow will see to the after-show.
Don't you think the candelabra gives a pleasant glow?
Paparazzi! World wide video debut!
Paparazzi! World wide video debut!
Paparazzi! World wide video debut!
Paparazzi! World wide video debut!
And just when you thought it could get no stranger,
May I present the semblance of a Scandinavian doppelganger.
From the frozen depths of a forgotten fjord,
The never sleeping for wont of eating unholy stench of the manticore,
