The Cure – Freakshow lyrics

I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the sound down
Says, "I am heaving
This is a freakshow"

And I am screaming
She spins the world round
I want to stop

Bittersweet again
Her opening move
Down and out in black
Soft shiny and smooth

Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She burns her name into my arm
But I can never get through

To play the game
She's trying to lose
Her ultraviolet makes it
Harder to choose

Looks like the edge
Of the earth got moved
She blurs a way across the floor
I spin to swallow the view

And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same stare, oh

It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but
It's not quite right

Oh, it's insane
She shakes like a freak
Stuck in the middle
Of the room for a week

Looks like the only way
To get on the beat
Is take her up on how to swing
But I am missing my feet

And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same stare, oh

It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but
It's not quite right

I'm in a step, out
She two more steps down
For three steps up, clap
And go around, ow

It makes my head buzz
She wants to come now
I try to stop

Always infra dig her
Finishing move
Up and down in black
Soft shiny and smooth

Looks like the alien
Crowd got groove
She cuts a number out my arm
But I can never get through

To play this game
She's trying to lose
The stuff from Mars
Makes it harder to choose

Looks like the final frontier got moved
She blurs a way across the floor
I spin to swallow the view

And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide
It's the same strip, oh

It's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same
But it's not quite right

I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the lights up
Says she is leaving
This is a freakshow

And I am beaten
She spins the world round
