Vic Chesnutt - Mighty Monkey lyrics

[Vic Chesnutt - Mighty Monkey lyrics]

Smell the mighty monkey trainer is a junky
And the tightrope walker
Has one foot in the grave

Invited to inspect what is a train wreck?
You don't even have to check it's evident
So evident

Dancing bear is full of worms
See the puny pachyderms
Lion tamer wrestles with
Ghosts from his past

Clowns have herpes and hepatitis C
The chick who runs the pony ride
We call her "Catherine the Gross"

Alcoholic acrobats emcee smokes crack
Last week the human cannonball
Blew his brains out
