Circus Animal
I'm no animal
There's nothing to be afraid of
You trained me well
Is it time to take the chains off?
There's no aggression
I'm at your beck and call
When you do me wrong
I won't bring out the claws
My cuts are bleeding
My pain's amusing
I'm jumping through hoops
And it's buried in my body
Always abiding
I been poked and prodded
Do what I'm told but I'm a good performer
Over-rehearsing
I been drained and exhausted
Clapping their hands
I think they like it
I'm muttering
Still stuttering
And I hate the way you got me feeling
I'm struggling
To follow through
You say you'll give me things
But you never do
Entertain me
I just want to sleep
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Under the sheets
I didn't say no
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Drownin' in pillows
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
My limbs are aching
From overworking
Wouldn't obey anybody else's instructions
Cover the crying
So I'm backstage hiding
Fix myself up and carry on smiling
Posing, leaping
Lack of sleep
You couldn't care less for what's underneath
I'm muttering
Still stuttering
And I hate the way you got me feeling
I'm struggling
To follow through
You say you'll give me things
But you never do
Entertain me
I just want to sleep
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Under the sheets
I didn't say no
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Drownin' in pillows
Ooh ooh (circus)
Ooh ooh (animal)
I just want to sleep
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Under the sheets
I didn't say no
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Drownin' in pillows
Ooh ooh (circus)
Ooh ooh (animal)
There's nothing to be afraid of
You trained me well
Is it time to take the chains off?
There's no aggression
I'm at your beck and call
When you do me wrong
I won't bring out the claws
My cuts are bleeding
My pain's amusing
I'm jumping through hoops
And it's buried in my body
Always abiding
I been poked and prodded
Do what I'm told but I'm a good performer
Over-rehearsing
I been drained and exhausted
Clapping their hands
I think they like it
I'm muttering
Still stuttering
And I hate the way you got me feeling
I'm struggling
To follow through
You say you'll give me things
But you never do
Entertain me
I just want to sleep
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Under the sheets
I didn't say no
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Drownin' in pillows
Ooh ooh

Ooh ooh (animal)
I just want to sleep
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Under the sheets
I didn't say no
You got me workin' like a circus animal
Drownin' in pillows
Ooh ooh (circus)
Ooh ooh (animal)
