I peek into the hole  i struggle for control 
The children love the show  but they fail to see the anguish in my 
Eyes 
Fail to see the anguish in my eyes 
I scratch around the brim  i let my mind give in 
The crowd begins to grin  but they seem to scream when darkness fills 
My eyes 
Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes  it's no surprise 
Fail to see the tragic  turn it into magic 
My big top tricks will always make you happy 
But we all know the hat is wearing me 
My bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that 
My vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise 
Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes 
They will bite the hand if it is slower than the quickness of their 
Scrutinizing eyes 
Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic 
My big top tricks will always make you happy 
But we all know the hat is wearing me 
Chicanery will always make you happy 
But we all know the hat is wearing me
