Lyrics The Ringleader (Nonus the Hobo) - The Venetia Fair

The Ringleader (Nonus the Hobo)

Two tickets’ll get you a tour of the fair
We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, keep up or get lost
It’s safe to say that you’ve got no idea what you’re in for
In time you’ll see what we’ve done here
Hey kid in the back with the backpack why don’t you come up front?
Get up front
Just give it a rest now
Just give it a rest now you wouldn’t want to
Cause a scene un front of all these people
Stop before you lose your mind
Are you freaking them out?
Are you speaking out loud?
All apologies — it seems that this disease
Demands the expertise of someone with a knack
For seeing through the wall of bullshit that I’ve built
Would you take a look at the time?
The tour has barely just begun
And yet we’re falling behind!
I could’ve found my way out of the sideshow tent
By now without you slowing me down
You’re all so ugly inside and out
Come one come all, come one come all !
This just might be the only audience we’ve ever had so…
Welcome to the death of love and war
We’ve got the answers (keep up keep up)
We’ve been waiting for you or anyone at all
Let’s start the tour, shall we?
Look at the animals play
The sun goes down but nothing’s changed
They can’t explain why we, as animals, would try to shape the world
But as performers we won’t stop until its perfect
And isn’t that just the silliest fucking thing you’ve ever hear?
But there’s nothing we can do about right?
Come one come all, come one come all !
This just might be the only audience we’ve ever had so…
Welcome to the death of love and war
We’ve got the answers (keep up keep up)
We’ve been waiting for you or anyone at all
Shh… the aberrations seep… shall we wake them?
Ladies and gentlemen, your eyes do not deceive you
They couldn’t if they tried
It’s my pleasure to present the most bizarre of human animals
The freaks, the worthless fucking…
Come one come all, come one come all !
This just might be the only audience we’ve ever had so…
Welcome to the death of love and war
We’ve got the answers (keep up keep up)
We’ve been waiting for you or anyone at all
Come one come all, come one come all !
Well its almost time to start the show
So welcome to the end of what you know keep up, keep up (keep up keep up)
We’ve been waiting for anyone at all
Ah, lalalalalalalalalala
It’s almost time to start the show
So everybody out there, sit down and shut the fuck up
Pardon me, my boy
A moment’s all I ask of you — for now
And if you’d offer up your minutes we’d return your change in hours
Ours is quite a gripping tale of every ray your mind devours
So take a look inside the flea circus
Smile along with the fabrication as long as you can shelve your disbelief
Breathe in each and every word from painted lips
We know you’ll keep these exaggerated features in your head
