Circus Time 05:43
Hooray the circus has come to town spin the unicycling wheel for the juggling clown Circus time step in line Watch the seals twirl their ball around their noses keep them spinning high above the ground Circus time step in line See the tires on the clown car as they leave the show One big putt putt off they go Circus time step in line

Back to Iowa 05:27
It was a hot summer day as i stepped out of the van, my mother my father and my sister all holding hands. I had reese's pieces on my mind, but much to my dismay there were no reeses pieces to find. That's when I saw a man standing by the van motioning for me to come over then he took my by the hand and led me around back and told me "I've got reese's pieces by the stack." I asked him "where?" and he said "in there" and pointed to his truck. I climbed in and I heard the door shut and my heart skipped a beat as the engine started. Then we were driving and I asked "where are we going" and he said, he said "WE'RE GOING BACK TO IOWA" (back to fucking Iowa) We rode for 6 hours then we got to his house then he sat me down on his couch and he sat next to me and he turned on the tv and I felt safe. For the next 8 years we slowly fell in love because he was amazing. Sometimes I think back to that day when he took my life away, what did he say? I'll tell you, he said "WE'RE GOING BACK TO IOWA" Then one day as I sat at his house I heard a sound, it was so frightening. Then I looked out the window and saw red and blue lights flashing in my eyes, as bright as lightning. Then they busted down the door and they took my man away, where they have him I cannot say, but they took me back too, back to my family, back where I fucking hate it. Sometimes I'll get real sad and I'll see my dad and he'll say "whats wrong" and i'll get out my guitar and i'll sing him this song and i'll say "I WANNA GO BACK TO IOWA"

Pigeons 04:27
I woke up this morning and was frightened- I had been given the power of flight and- I was small and I was gray- And the only thing I could say- Was a high pitched bird sound- And my eyes were small and round- I sat there on that telephone wire and I- Think it's great to be a bird It's great to be a pigeon Rat boy That freaky little rat boy He ain't got any rat joy So he plays with his rat toys I'm a pigeon You're a pigeon Were all pigeons

I had a bike named Rocco and he belonged to me We believed if I pedaled fast enough we would skip across the sea I had a bike named Rocco and he was my best friend I never knew that once I grew up our friendship would be forced to end I had a bike named Rocco and he could go so fast I wish our time together was not so hastily passed With him by my side I would never have to walk Nobody knew he could talk I had a bike named Rocco and he belonged to me We believed if I pedaled fast enough we would skip across the sea I had a bike named Rocco and we thought we could fly He told me if we went fast enough we could touch the sky With him by my side I would never walk Nobody knew he could talk

To put over your head do you need a paper bag? Welcome to the club dude, All you need is to be able to groove and get funky Cause this is the anthem for the ugly Anthem for the UGLY C'mon baby it don't matter if you're clumsy or lumpy or chubby or fuzzy or got a fat tummy cause this is the anthem for the ugly Anthem for the UGLY

Rubberman 35 06:51
He's the last page in the book- That guy with the insane look- He stands on the corner shouting "abstain"- He's obviously in pain- He's melting into the gutter- He needs a lover Rubberman 35- Is he dead or is he alive? Rubberman 35 Never had no reason to strive You can see a troubled past- And a troubled future approaching fast- He calls you a sinner as you walk by- But somewhere he knows that it's a lie- He's melting into the gutter- He needs a lover Rubberman 35- Is he dead or is he alive? Rubberman 35 Never had no reason to strive
