I thought I didn't need you
I didn't need this town
I packed my bags and told you
That I was getting right the hell out

I hitched down the Interstate
And caught a ride with a transvestite
I was meant for the stage
I knew it was my purpose in life

But now you're gone away
There's an elephant in your place
Oh why did I join the circus today?
I thought you were ugly
But now I'm screwing the bearded lady
Oh why did I join the circus? Dear me

I see her face in the balls I juggle
And I hear her eyes when I swallow my sword
How did I ever leave it all behind me?
I cant believe that I ever got bored

But now you're gone away
There's an elephant in your place
Oh why did I join the circus today?
I thought you were ugly
But now I'm screwing the bearded lady
Oh why did I join the circus? Dear me

I sleep the carnies out back in the cuts
Yeah I've got my own trailer now, it's true
And when Stretch the Amazing Man crawls into my bunk
I can only bite my lip, close my eyes, and think of you

Gone away (I think of you while he stabs me in the poo)
There's an elephant in your place
Oh why did I join the circus today?
I thought you were ugly
But now I'm screwing the bearded lady
Oh why did I join the circus? Dear me

But now you're gone away
There's an elephant in your place
Oh why did I join the circus today?
I thought you were ugly
But now I'm screwing the bearded lady
Oh why did I join the circus? Dear me

And now I'm working with Batman
Working with Batman
Here comes Spiderman
Where the hell is Superman

Working with Batman
Working with Batman
I am a crime fighter
