The animals tent (decimus the tramp)

Look at the animals play!
Just settle down and we will bring out everything we've tried to tame .
We've done amazing things but
as you'll imagine there're some things
that are never gonna bend to our will

So here comes Sekhmet the hon; the tamer's riled her up
Look in her eyes, look in her eyes
Watch out! She's coming
Step back! Right there
Now, tamer, do your worst

Look how she's stalking her quarry
One single breath's all it takes
I know it seems like she's calming down but make no mistake
Just when he thinks he can break her
cubs come to ravage his flesh .
See for yourself!

We just keep pushing it pushing it
pushing it pushing it pushing it
We can't kill what we don't know
And this is what we want, so it's what you get

Up next is Arcas and Callisto!
The bears on tricycles ride in once a day around this time;
it's just a portion of their trip around the fair grounds
Here comes Airavata; the elephant controls the rainclouds,
his skin the rumbling earth (Airavata!)
I can see the tear in you but we can't control him?

We just keep pushing it pushing it
pushing it pushing it pushing it
We can't kill what we don't know
With all our infinite minds
e'll just keep breeding and bleeding
and fucking and fighting and dying
just like every single other soul
But what a way to go

You'll get just a taste then it's taken away .
Stay seated! Here comes Pauline's life machines!
You'll get just a taste then it's taken away
Stay seated, stay seated, stay seated!
They're squaring off, it's metal versus flesh .
If steel is the next step in our evolution
does skin stand a fighting chance?

We just keep pushing it pushing it
pushing it pushing it pushing it
We can't kill what we don't know
With all our infinite minds we'll just
keep breeding and bleeding
and fucking and fighting and dying
just like every single other soul

We started sleeping to dream?
And we keep tossing and turning
and tossing and turning and tossing
and turning and bleeding
and fucking and dying and
bleeding and fucking and dying .
This madness is quite a way to go

[Decimus The Tramp]
Nothing else could get this far,
but what foolish animals we are to try and tame the stars .
Breathe in each and every word from painted lips,
we know you'll keep these exaggerated features in your head .
Performers wait . Just a knock at that door .
Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock Knock !
