(Return to the Valley Of) Out Come the Freaks [Extended Version]

Lyrics

[Intro] When the sun goes down, they hit the streets To the bars, to try and meet Some other strangers to ease the pain Of living alone 'til it drives 'em insane The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks The woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks [Verse 1] Like little Michael on his motorcycle With leather pants and a leather brain He ain't never been the same since Vietnam Keeps his heart lockеd up in a vest And his eyes insidе his shoes Doesn't ever want to lose them in a fight You never know what might go down tonight [Chorus] Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah [Verse 2] In her apartment was a plastic altar She'd light a candle when her courage faltered Sometimes the world got a little hard to bear It wasn't easy living in the city She wasn't clever and she wasn't pretty She chanted in the night but no one cared [Chorus] Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, mmm hmm Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah yeah [Verse 3] Freddie's wife became a topless dancer Had bondage parties with a Turkish bouncer She's been evicted, the police have got her car (It was a Trans Am) She tried to sell an antique shotgun She said she knows some crazy guy who wants one Her parents said "You're not our daughter, you're a whore It's over and you don't live here anymore" [Chorus] Woodwork squeaks Woodwork squeaks Woodwork squeaks Woodwork squeaks [Verse 4] Eddie Harold used a tape recorder When he had one of his girlfriends over He didn't want to miss a single scream His friends all laughed when he played it later You had to wonder, did he really hate her? Girls always made him nervous, that's to blame And makin' love was just a crazy game [Verse 5] Open the door and there's Suzanne She eats her breakfast from the pan She never burns her tongue She'd like to get hung up on a millionaire Suzanne insists that she don't care If he ain't got no hair She says, "Long as he signs the checks I figure what the heck I'll get him a toupee" I ask you, what more can I say? (Ooh) [Chorus] Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah [Verse 6] Detroit Johnny don't wear no tie 'Cause he says it hurts his neck He's got a chick from Ecuador tonight She wants to talk about the moon She says it used to be her friend But the doctors put an end to all of that "A part of me is lost for good Do you really understand?" "I do" says Johnny as he grabs her hand [Chorus] Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh yeah Woodwork squeaks and "Strangers In The Night" We're talkin' 'bout Woodwork squeaks and "Papa's Got A Brand New Bag" We're talkin' 'bout Woodwork squeaks and "Shadow of Your Smile" Ooh, we're talkin' 'bout Woodwork squeaks and "Take the Last Train To Clarksville" Mmm, ahh, woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, oh
