Welcome to the Show Lyrics

[Intro: Woman]
Excuse me, Excuse me!!
Can I have your attention please. Tonight we have for you, entertainment of the most marvelous of sorts. That's right back from the dungeon, the king's jester, will give you the performance of a life time, it's true. So without further ado, everyone Welcome to the Show

[Hook]
Demons around me that I can’t see!
Plead down on my knees but they won’t leave!
Demons around me that I can’t see!
Plead down on my knees but they won’t leave!
Demons around me that I can’t see!
Plead down on my knees but they won’t leave!
Demons around me that I can’t see!
Plead down on my knees but they won’t leave!

[Verse 1]
I’m smart as they come so just be careful what your trynna' pull
Being sneaky trynna' out-creep me you must think I’m a fool
I’m the grand master, a rocket scientist from Lancaster
Dumpin humungous buckets of flavor on you bland bastards

I eat rappers and crap souls
The ghost of the collapsed old shack where the black pumpkin patch grows
I scratched holes in the coffin that they latched closed
Dug up through the ground, broke the surface and my ass rose!

Now I stand with a staff in my hand
A broken man looking out over the land from which I was banned

But I returned in disguise to blend amongst the people
Menacing, seeking vengeance against any presumptive evil
Demon spawn, sneak in your room at the gleam of dawn
Wake you up, stab you in the face ‘fore you even yawn
And this is how I envisioned it all along
Just give me the heads of those who imprisoned me I’ll be gone!
[Hook]

[Verse 2]
I used to entertain people in such innocent ways
Now I juggle four-foot ninja blades and pin-less grenades
Drinking kerosene and breathing flames
I sneeze at people and casually say excuse me while they scream in pain
You get indicted for corporate stock extortions
I get indicted for unlawfully breathing life into rotten corpses
In cemeteries in the blackest darkness
I’ll start the tractor parked behind the maintenance shack, dig up, and snatch a carcass
And drag ‘em back to the Lair and you know what happens there
Surgical staples and dried, blood-stained mattress tears
Replacing fingers with claws, cutting faces with saws
And implanting flesh eating jaws bigger than that of bears
That means my army of zombies is on its way to you all
To unleash an assault for the likes of which you can’t prepare
Contraire, they’ll be chasing you as you run scared
Hop in your closet light a match and there’s one there!

[Hook]

[Bridge]
Welcome to the great asylum
Welcome to the greatest show
Welcome to the coldest, darkest hole
Watch the dancing Jokerr cry
Watch the tear drops on his eyes
Dry for all eternity and so…
Welcome to the show
[Verse 3]
I’m the one genuine article surrounded by a crock of facades
So at the final bow y'all don’t even gotta applaud
Cause I could give a damn about claps
I get those by pushing people into empty pools full of cocked mouse traps

All along I’ve been waiting and waiting
The violence and wrath that my chains were negating
Dreaming of times and dreaming of places
When I could set you up and scream in your faces!!!

[Bridge]

[Hook]

[Outro]
Long ago, in a kingdom far, far away, lived a Joker who's only desire was to entertain. But once in a fit of rage, the king under whom he served, sentenced The Jokerr to death, during his wrongful imprisonment, the castle fell siege to an enemy force. Killing all it's inhabitants and plundering all it's treasure, leaving the Jokerr behind alone, in the dark down dungeon
