Freaks - James LaBrie

You see it — I’m in it

One man freak show

Walk by me — Excite me

Moving real slow

Can’t accept it, a comical parade

Can’t accept it, part of the charade

Just hangin' by a thin thread

On borrowed time, think you’ve got it

The same habits, sure you won’t mind

Can’t accept it, a comical parade

Can’t accept it, part of the charade

You think I don’t know

What you’re thinking

With my outreached hand

Yeah you think

You’re the better man

The look in your eyes

What do you care

Look at all us freaks

Cluttering your city streets

You don’t know me

Nor my history

What brought me here

Walk right past me

And avoid me

Drag I’m even there

Can’t accept it, it doesn’t have to be

Can’t accept it, don’t want your sympathy

Was tired

Of the fast pace

The direction

Then I landed

Right on my face

Poor perception

Can’t accept it, the comical charade

Can’t accept it, badly written play

You think I don’t know

What you’re thinking

Yeah I might look weak

But I’m right where I wanna be

Got my piece of the wall

Got my corner

I don’t want no more

I’m right where I wanna be

Can’t accept this

Your comical parade

Can’t accept this

Oh the sweet charade

I know you are thinking

The same thing

Waking everyday

Know the character you play

I left mine

With complete abandon

Don’t regret it none

Left my wife

Daughter and my Son

You think I don’t know

What you’re thinking

With my outreached hands

Do away

With this retched man

The look in your eyes

What do you care

Look at all us freaks

Cluttering

Your city streets
