I used to work through my emotions playing my flute
And harmonize the moan of the vacuum
Everything I did I had to count by twos
Ending on an odd number I'd be screwed

It's hard as hell to be normal with
A non-stop band in your mind

Hey circus freak, I set you free
'Cause I'm as weird as any
You're just the piece I need to live live live
Hey circus freak, you wait and see
We'll win the hearts of many
I need this piece of me to live, live, live

So there was me and the acrobat in my brain
We'd go hand in hand cutting school on the 2 train
Find an empty car and the sing the Little Shop of Horrors theme
Or just let out a scream at the top of my lungs
Nobody sees or hears a thing from underground and so I just

Hush in spite of the symphony
Swirling around in my mind

Hey circus freak, I set you free
'Cause I'm as weird as any
You're just the piece I need to live live live
Hey circus freak, you wait and see
We'll win the hearts of many
I need this piece of me to live, live, live

I can't be small
I disappear
I lose my way
My song
Will get me through
I know it's true
If I can only sing it
(Live, live, live)

Hey circus freak, we'll never be
Just some ordinary
We're million dollar pennies
Bring on the bearded lady
Hey circus freak, you wait and see
We'll win the hearts of many
I need this piece of me, call me crazy
Call me crazy
