This House Is A Circus

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck

We tend to see that as a perk though. Look

What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend

And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck

We tend to see that as a perk though. Look

What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend

And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

Looking for trouble and there's lovers to be had

Those ones next to us are such lovely lads

Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze

And the anomaly is slipping into familiar ways

And we're forever unfulfilled

Can't think why

Like a search for murder clues

In dead man's eyes

Forever unfulfilled

And can't think why

Like a search for murder clues

In dead man's eyes

The more you open your mouth

The more you're forcing performance

All the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious)

Now that we're here, we may as well go too far

Wriggling around just so that you won't forget

There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect

Aimlessly gazing at the blazers in the queue

Struggling with the notion that it's life not film

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck

We tend to see that as a perk though. Look

What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend

And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck

We tend to see that as a perk though. Look

What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend

And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end
