Lyrics

I've paid to make this spectacle a trick that works.
The crowd abates and forms.
The curtain opens wide and I am here to startle them
I watch the stagelights circle round your body, sequined top to bottom.
I dream inside this costume.
You don't know the ways I dream.

The tent come down, the canvasmen to work to fill the cars again.
A collar and a tie on me and my gait is only human.
I save a seat for you and watch you pass me like you do.
You hold the hands of bosses and you laugh when they say nothing.

So I keep head in cage, suffer big agonies while you let stronger men, let them lift roadshow weights on the take.

We go through Kentucky past Chicago to Milwaukee.
This show it must go on and I only want to leave it.
But I am working for Atasha.
I am working for Atasha.
I am working for Atasha.
And you are working me.

So I keep head in cage, suffer big agonies while you let stronger men, let them lift roadshow weights on the take.
Yes I keep head in cage, suffer big agonies while you let stronger men, let them lift roadshow weights on the take.

I've paid to make this spectacle a trick that works.
The crowd abates and forms.
The curtain opens wide and I am here to startle them.
