Human Cannonball

Dressed up like the clown again
Sad face painted on your skin

Obsessing over last year's show
You just can't seem to let it go

Your rabbit stuck inside the hat was not the people's favorite act
And your suicidal acrobat was hoping that the trapeze would snap

Through rings of fire
Backward somersault
But all they want to see is the human cannonball
The tightrope that you walk
They want to see you fall
You're trying to compete with the human cannonball

Caught up in this conny life with hopes of bringing down the house tonight, tonight
You swallowed all the swords again
Pushed the handles down onto your chin

There's no applause for a safety net
The crowd won't roar until it's life or death
So just give them a show they won't forget
I'm watching as the lion eats your head

Through rings of fire
Backward somersault
But all they want to see is the human cannonball
The tightrope that you walk
They want to see you fall
You're trying to compete with the human cannonball

The human cannonball
Da da da

Through rings of fire
Backward somersault
But all they want to see is the human cannonball
The tightrope that you walk
They want to see you fall
You're trying to compete with the human cannonball

The human cannonball

You're dressed up like a clown
They want to see you fall
You give them all you got
But they still want some more
They wanna see you fall
Tell me are you gonna fall
