Under the Tent

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We're all here under the tent All the pieces to the game, all the members of the club So much time and money spent Angels and assassins preaching peace and love [Bridge 1] Come one, come all Gather 'round the podium (Experience the magic) Let us entertain you, saturate and drain you Rob you of your soul and steal you blind Captivate and infiltrate your mind [Verse 2] We're all here under the tent All the broken-hearted soldiers with their broken lives Singing "reap but never repent" All their shattered dreams carved up with their rusty knives [Bridge 2] Come hither, come yon Open up your arms (Feel the mystery) Let us in your hearts, that's where the magic starts Don't be scared to let us inside Just relax and enjoy the ride [Bridge 3] It's a shelter from the rain But no shield from mortality Gravitas in spades But a shortage of morality Orphans seeking mothers, killers seeking peace We're all trapped in here together just wailing to be released [Verse 3] We're all here under the tent Searching for enlightenment, hiding from the truth Hell bound but heaven sent Unleashed, unrepentant, unkept, and uncouth [Guitar Solo] [Bridge 4] Matt the Hat is here, Toothy Joe and Mr. Shaky All the brothers Nabokov, King Richard and Senor Flaky Martha's here to smother you, Susanne is here to save you The barking beasts and the soldiers with no names are here to enslave you All the while they'll make their mission known Do not venture on your own [Bridge 5] Jimmy V is here, Carmine and Corky Oz the Wizard and Bungalow Bill will be here shortly Simon says he's coming, Cleveland might be here tomorrow All with an axe to grind, even if it's one they have to borrow And the same lights that drew us all in Are still exposing our sin [Outro] We're all here under the tent We're all here under the tent We're all here We're all here
