Nobody Laughs When They Leave - The Residents

Everyone comes to the Freak Show

To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks

Everyone comes to the Freak Show

But nobody laughs when they leave.

We are only equal in the grave and in the dark

Said a man whose head was halfway eaten by a shark

Now if you ask me why I would continue on like this

I doubt that I would know so I could only make a guess

Half a mouth may not be much but it’s still half a kiss.

Everyone comes to the Freak Show

To laugh at the Freaks and the Geeks

Life is a lot like the Freak Show

Nobody laughs when they leave.
