Circus Envy lyrics

Here comes that awful feeling again

Welcome the ugly animal

I hold my breath to watch you swing

My high rope acrobat ball and chain

I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

On command

Here comes that awful feeling again

Make way for monster jealousy

The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl

I'd spelled your name with Oatios

He messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

On command

And you're mean, mean, mean

And you tease, tease, tease me

If I were you I'd really run from me

I'd really, really wish that I were you

When I get loose I'll climb a tree and drop a load on your head

This monster in me makes me retch

You messed it, messed it up

I've got my telescope head in the haystack

I am tired of your dodgeball circus act

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark

On command

And you're mean, mean, mean

And you tease, tease, tease me

Do you smell jealousy?

Do you smell jealousy?

Jealousy
