Do-do-do do-do-do-do Do-do-do do-do-do-do Do-do-do do-do-do-do Ooh Ahh She was raised with the touch to cover her bruises with beauty marks And her boyfriend he is tough Tough enough to tear her apart When he's pissed, he hits her His temper swells up like her blisters As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started From fathers tongue to fathers belt They're not bruises, they'rе beauty marks When he kissеd her on the mouth Blood and tears stained the sheets When daughters bad, she's good She's old enough to know he shouldn't As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started In her dreams of cold quicksand Down she sinks all by his hands She feels his breath chase by her heart She cannot hide her deeper scars As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started All her friends will never know that they're bruises, not beauty marks When her boyfriend is not home She shares her secrets with the mirror lock She can't hide behind bright colours Like a sad carnival clown does Still she tries hard not to face it under skin deep flesh-coloured makeup (Do-do-do do-do-do-do) As this sideshow carries on, she forgets just how it started (Do-do-do do-do-do-do) (Do-do-do do-do-do-do) As this sideshow carries on, she forgets about it
