about

This track was a collaboration with Dutch DJ Niles Philips.

Oddities and Curiosities

After a particularly magical show, the cast and crew are celebrating back stage. The director is approached by a man in a suit who flashes some sort of identification before he speaks. There is a violent exchange between the two men and then finally the instruction is given to tear down the tent within 30 days. The show has to be closed because the lease is over and the land is to be redeveloped. The circus must find a new place.

lyrics

Well I've seen a lot of things and I've done a lot of stuff
(drinks from a shot glass)

I've been around the world and it hasn't been enough
I need to find an outlet for the confines of my brain

Something very different or I might just go insane


I wish that there were cities out on the planet Mars

I wish that all the insects drove around in little cars

I think that I would like to see invaders from Outer space

I wouldn't mind if they took charge of the entire place


Cause,


Boredom's setting in and there's not much left to do

I've used up my adrenalin in search of what is new

I've watched kids jump on bungee cords

And stick stuff in their brains

I watched as couples balance 
in the most peculiar ways

I've seen some acts where some might die

But it's all so passé,

I want to see something that moves beyond risqué


Hmmmmmm


Contortion and some magic, perhaps a clown or two

We put them on this stage now, here, in front of you

The wierdos and the freaks who live their lives this way

Why they like to do it , no one can really say
We beg that you indulge us, this is how we are

Each and every one of us, wants to be the star

We'll show you something different, something old, or something new
Oddities and Curiosities, would like to welcome you.
