about

Written about old time hypnotists at circus sideshows. This is also the first song we wrote together as a band.

lyrics

Look in my eyes, stare at this silver watch
Tick back and forth like the pendulum of a clock
Hypnotic rhythm, slowing your brain a bit
Open your mind, let me come and play with it

I guarantee, you have my word it’s completely safe
Besides you signed a waiver when you stepped into this place
Don’t even worry, I’ve trained at this for years
My 100th victim, just calm your fears.

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the show
The truth will speak in mounds of overflow
This isn’t just your normal sideshow

Your feeling sleepy, your eyes begin to close
I’m sure you’ll wake when the time comes, but who knows
I swear I have never ever hurt a soul
Maybe just 1…2…3…or 4

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the show
The truth will speak in mounds of overflow
This isn’t just your normal sideshow
Step right up, I know you’re a little scared
But welcome to the show
Don’t hear my critics, the doctors, or the back row
I assure you, this is only a show

Blue green spirals, you’re sinking down for miles
There are no secrets, your mind’s wide open
Tick tock, tick tock, seconds to sun up
Crow like a rooster, your mind’s wide open

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the show
The truth will speak in mounds of overflow
This isn’t just your normal sideshow
Step right up, I know you’re a little scared
But welcome to the show
Don’t hear my critics, the doctors, or the back row
I assure you, this is only a show

I’ll snap my fingers, you’ll wake up quite refreshed
It’s our secret that your secrets were confessed
Wasn’t that fun, how ‘bout a hand for our guest
See that was painless…now, who’s next?

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the show
The truth will speak in mounds of overflow
This isn’t just your normal sideshow
Step right up, I know you’re a little scared
But welcome to the show
Don’t hear my critics, the doctors, or the back row
I assure you, this is only a show
