The Jeffrey Lewis, Peter Stampfel Band - I Spend the Night in the Wax Museum lyrics

I spent the night in the wax museum
In the empty carnival
The streets were bare, the rides were dark
An old coyote called
The echoes rose and died away
Down the concrete corridor
I spent the night in the wax museum
In the empty carnival

I spent the night in the wax museum
In the city of the living dead
If I kept a little quiet
I thought I heard breathing
In thе dark hallways ahead
How I wish that I had listened
To thе words of warning
That the fortune teller's fortune read
I spent the night in the wax museum
In the city of the living dead

I spent the night in the wax museum
With the fog creeping through the cracks
Presidents and lunatics
Murderers through history
All of them were there in wax
I started feeling sleepy but the
Statues were so creepy
I couldn't ever quite relax
I spent the night in the wax museum
With the fog creeping through the cracks

I spent the night in the wax museum
It was much worse than you think
There were bats and rats battling each other
Probably over human blood to drink
I was checking out the zipper on
The mask of Jack the Ripper
And I'm pretty sure I saw him blink
I spent the night in the wax museum
And I couldn't sleep a wink

(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)

I spent the night in the wax museum
In the empty carnival
The streets were bare, the rides were dark
An old coyote called
The echoes rose and died away
Down the concrete corridor
Now I'll spend my life in the wax museum
In the empty carnival

(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)
(All the statues starin' at you)
