circus freak 3

I was born a circus freak
in 1917
I was no one, so to speak,
a discarded human being
judge me by the way I look
it's my destiny
to be dangling off the hook
while you laugh at me

          I pray to God
          my soul to keep
          goes the prayer
          of the circus freak

my mind and body's broken 
apart, beyond repair
no one can hear my beating heart
and the pain living there
God has placed his faith in me
and I shall do his will
for there's a fight inside of me
that your laughter cannot kill

          I pray to God
          please help me sleep
          the lonesome cry
          of the circus freak

          I stand here before you
          provide entertainment for you
          but my eyes cannot ignore you
          you burn inside my brain

I was born a circus freak
a long, long time ago
I contacted my disease
a cure I do not know 
judge me by the way I look
it must be my destiny
to be dangling off the hook
while you laugh at me
