"Under the Tent" lyrics
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
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
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
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
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
We're all here - under the tent
Searching for enlightenment - hiding from the truth
Hell bound but heaven sent
Unleashed, unrepentant, unkept, and uncouth
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
We're all here - under the tent
Searching for enlightenment - hiding from the truth
Hell bound but heaven sent
Unleashed, unrepentant, unkept, and uncouth
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
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
We're all here - under the tent
