lyrics

I have been drunk on every thing in every dump there is or ever was to be tried.
You’re not gonna find a cold shoulder I haven’t leaned on to cry if you try.
There isn't a circus in town that hasn’t asked to book you.
There isn't a hole in your whole house somebody ain’t looked through.

You seem so true,
and I’m so blue.

It all seemed too perfect, which catch is the hitch?
Were her hands controlled by pulleys; her kiss by a switch?
Was the laugh a recording? If I pull some string…?
Is the smile painted on? Is her wink on a spring?

Is it a costume you wear?
Is it a costume you wear?
Is it a costume?
Is it a costume?

I can’t tell which eye is real, and which one is glass.
All I’m asking is don’t write me a check I can’t cash.

Don’t open my veins,
unless you let me do the same.

Is it a costume you wear?
Is it a costume you wear?
Is it a costume?
Is it a costume?
