Ladies and gents (and of course children too) You wouldn't believe what a show waits for you A fascinating bit of exotica tonight It's that lady you've been waiting for... Elephant Woman, that's right Who is she you ask? She's the queen of curiosities. The empress of the awful-- the goddess of atrocities She walks like a human even talks like one too-- but an accident at birth made her not like me and you.. I'm the one who found her, (I'm a doctor you see) But my "business" side understood What a goldmine she might be Those disfigured limbs! That grotesque flap of skin! I put her in the freakshow & the money just rolled in. Some would question my "ethics" But I'm a man of honor & integrity, Who better to profit from her repulsive physiogomy? Her mom had name her joan after the heroine joan of arc cause when she saw her kid at birth, she thought a name of strength was smart No need to ask who she is-- She's the queen of our curiosities The empress of we the awful The goddess of our atrocities She walks like a woman Even talks like one too-- And what happened to her, could happen to me or you

Over You 03:40
It's always been a pleasure And by always I mean never Sure you find yourself quite clever But our relationship I must sever Because I'm over you... You know how much I love you And by love I mean despise you Yeah, ya know I sympathize with you But your addiction overrides you And now I'm over you Did I say you're looking lovely? What I mean is that you're crazy Did you think you could possess me? Well now you've seen the last of me
