Lyrics

 Daddy?s gone south, he ain?t comin? back
Mama says I?m giving her a heart attack
So I got no place where the buffalo roam
Got a penny in my pocket and I can?t go home
Uh huh uh huh

Circus tents up before my eyes
And the elephant vents a big surprise
On the head of a freak and it turns to foam
Got a penny in his pocket and he?s got no home
Uh huh uh huh

It?s a funhouse mirror
I?m the drunken clown
Throw my balls up in the air
And they all fall down

Big man in a bimmer likes to sell little children
?I know she?s only 12, but she?s a real good girlfriend?
Now her mama wishes that she?d answered the phone
Blowin? powder up her nose and she can?t go home

Crackin? up the whip snort blowin my top
Gotta find the doctor for another cough drop
Its my own Rx that I gotta get fille
?Mother?s little helper?, my ?jagged little pill?

It?s a funhouse mirror?

Tell me why, can?t I hang out to dry
And rise above this [fucked up] high?

Dead man lying by the side of the road
Needle?s still hot but his body?s gone cold
Kind of like the story that Neil once told
Are you going to join the circus by the side of the road?

It?s a funhouse mirror
I?m the drunken clown
Throw my balls up in the air
And they all fall down
We all fall down
We all fall down
