The Animals' Tent & Decimus The Tramp
Look at the animals play !
Just settle down and we will bring out everything weve tried to tame .
Weve done amazing things but as youll imagine therere some things
that are never gonna bend to our will .
So here comes Sekhmet the hon; the tamers riled her up .
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes .
Watch out ! Shes coming .
Step back ! Right there .
Now, tamer, do your worst .
Look how shes stalking her quarry .
One single breaths all it takes .
I know it seems like shes calming down but make no mistake .
Just when he thinks he cam break her cubs come to ravage his flesh .
See for yourself !
We just keep pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it .
We cant kill what we dont know .
And this is what we want, so its what you get .
Up next is Arcas and Callisto !
The bears on tricycles ride in once a day around this time;
its just a portion of their trip around the fair grounds .
Here comes Airavata; the elephant controls the rainclouds,
his skin the rumbling earth (Airavata !)
I can see the tear in you but we cant control him
We just keep pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it .
We cant kill what we dont know .
With all our infinite minds well just keep breeding and bleeding
and fucking and fighting and dying just like every single other soul .
But what a way to go .
Youll get just a taste then its taken away .
Stay seated ! Here comes Paulines life machines !
Youll get just a taste then its taken away .
Stay seated, stay seated, stay seated !
Theyre squaring off, its metal versus flesh .
If steel is the next step in our evolution does skin stand a fighting chance ?
We just keep pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it pushing it .
We cant kill what we dont know .
With all our infinite minds well just keep breeding and bleeding
and fucking and fighting and dying just like every single other soul
We started sleeping to dream
And we keep tossing and turning and tossing and turning and tossing
and turning and bleeding
and fucking and dying and bleeding and fucking and dying .
This madness is quite a way to go
[Decimus The Tramp]
Nothing else could get this far,
but what foolish animals we are to try and tame the stars .
Breathe in each and every word from painted lips,
we know youll keep these exaggerated features in your head .
Performers wait . Just a knock at that door .
Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock !
