Dear child It's already nine I bet your night wasn't half as bad as mine A painted face like a jester vaulted high To the starry sky To the starry sky Transplanted friends from year to year Temporary water to wash away the smell of beer In our one ring school house I'll teach you things you should know But not by the book Not by the book Dear child Take a look at those lives below They're the poster children for the one ring freakshow Heavy as lead, they will pull you down Until they get a taste of the high life I'll trade a story about the war For a unicycle You can have my hours of sleep If I can dine at your table And in our sleepy trailer Exhausted from the night before I'll let you come and go And you will come and go Dear child Take a look at those lives below They're the poster children for the one ring freakshow Heavy as lead, they will pull you down Until they get a taste of the high life Ne moga de rasbera kokvo kasvash I don't understand what you're saying Ne moga de rasbera kokvo kasvash I don't understand what you're saying 'til now Dear child Take a look at those lives below They're the poster children for the one ring freakshow Heavy as lead, they will pull you down Until they get a taste of the high life I'll trade a story about the war For a unicycle
