spatch"Damn it all, everything, but the circus."
Wonder who said that?
Somebody told us what we wanted to be.
It was candy for the mind.
Look behind and you'll see
It was circusy.
It was hi-diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle.
It was safe as can be.
It was right down the middle.
It was fantasy.
Fantasy galore.
It was everything we wanted. It was that, and so much more.
Who was it that said

This album also features Tom Waits covering "Heigh Ho" with similar disturbing background effects.
