R.E.M. - Circus Envy lyrics

Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal
I hold my breath to watch you swing
My high rope acrobat ball and chain
I'm not afraid, I messed it
Messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your
Dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
On command

Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into
My breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios
He messed it, messed it, messed it
Messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your
Dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
On command

And you're mean, mean, mean
And you tease, tease, tease me

If I were you I'd really run from me
I'd really, really wish that I were you
When I get loose I'll climb a tree
And drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me retch
You messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I am tired of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
On command

And you're mean, mean, mean
And you tease, tease, tease me
Do you smell jealousy?
Do you smell jealousy? Jealousy
Jealousy
