lyrics

Everybody’s hiding in their little clique ,
Closed up like a fist .
The urge to crack that exclusiveness
Is just too hard to resist .
So I‘ll pay a visit to the puppeteer.
He knows how to pull the right strings
It doesn't take much to get him going .
That braggadocio really knows how to sing ,

CHORUS
I am coming from the end.
Not a great way to begin.
I am straddling the outside.
Waiting for the chance to jump back in.

The room is full of virile men ,
And slender women wit ha certain flair
Except for the surly dwarf,
Who’s holding court in his little chair .
When midnight nears, he winks at me,
And whispers through a sly grin.
Things are going to get rough in here.
If I were you, I’d get another layer of skin.

I am coming from the end.
Not a great way to begin.
I am straddling the outside.
Waiting for the chance to jump back in.

There’s a showdown at the bigtop
The heroes have abandoned the floor.
The cowards, they are gloating.
As they count their riches behind closed doors.
But the martyr, he is missing.
Sidelined with a nasty cough.
But I don’t think he’d show up anyway.
Somebody said that they paid him off.

I am coming from the end.
Not a great way to begin.
I am straddling the outside.
Waiting for the chance to jump back in.

The air is full of static,
Rumors are flying through town.
The acrobats have vanished with the costumes,
Leaving behind the naked clown.
I offered to take Grandma,
Down to see the traveling show.
But she said that she's seen it all before.
She'd rather stay home and listen to the radio.

I am coming from the end.
Not a great way to begin.
I am straddling the outside.
Waiting for the chance to jump back in.
To jump back in.
To jump back in.
