I belong in a circus, in the sideshow
“Step right up! See the blue haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”
I belong in there, not out here with you
The shiest girl with the hottest man
It doesn’t seem right. It doesn’t seem fair.
I belong in the freak show, standing next
to the two-headed goat
“Step right up! See the purple haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”
That’s how I feel
I shouldn’t be here with you
I shouldn’t be anywhere, but locked away
in a cage at the sideshow
at the freak show
Where only the creeps want to hit on me
I belong in there
because that’s where I belong
“Step right up! See the green haired girl! Silent Patti from Detroit!
She never speaks! The only one in existence!”
