I peek into the hole, I struggle for control   The children love the show   But they fail to see the anguish in my eyes   Fail to see the anguish in my eyes      I scratch around the brim, I let my mind give in yeah, yeah   The crowd begins to grin   But they seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes   Seem to scream when darkness fills my eyes   It's no surprise      Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic   My big top tricks will always make you happy   But we all know the hat is wearin' me      My bag is in the hat, it's filled with this and that   My vision's getting fat, the rabbit's just a monkey in disguise   Stars and pills and needles dance before our eyes   They will bite the hand if it is slower than   The quickness of their scrutinizin' eyes      Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic   My big top tricks will always make you happy   But we all know the hat is wearin' me   Chicanery will always make you happy   But we all know the hat is wearin' me
