Lyrics

Since I was a little kid
I tried to get out of my head
Trapped on the playground
I would stare at the sky
I didn't even know why
But daily life it took an evil shape
Some conformed
And some tried to escape
And those are the misfits that I have known
Like a sock in the eye
They feel it to the bone

It's a joke that we all know
We're the bait in a horror show
Yeah we are all alone
In a horror show

Banish me and mine to outer space
I'd shoot there in a second
Just for the breathing space
I'd put the punks on the moon
For head-room
Mods rule the galaxy
That's the way I think things should be
The creep in you is the creep in me
Gravity presses down like a lie
We want wild sex
But we don't want to die

Do you feel there's no where to go
We're the bait in a horror show
And we're all alone in a horror show
Yeah we are all alone in a horror show

If I spoke in words of only hate
Tell me would you know
Could you relate?
And I, I wish I met Lou Reed
Out on his darkened sea
'Cause I felt it when his blood would flow
But it doesn't take a thousand years to know
That ship burned a long time ago

And we're all alone in a horror show
We're all alone
We're on our own
In a horror show

It's the same music... so yeah, it does. SJ wrote new lyrics for Horror Show. Go look up "Lou Reed" on Google.

When i first heard this song, i disliked it so much that i didn't care to listen to it again for about 5 months. I gave it a listen the other day, and all of a sudden i think the song is great. i've had similar experience with other 3eb songs like Good man, and Losing a Whole Year.

Hell yeah, man. When I heard that it was played at the SF shows, I wasn't that excited; actually I said to myself "They could've played a better obscure song.." But when they played it live at Starland I did a total 180. It sounded amazing, probably the best sounding song of the night, up there with Campfire. Just bosoms, baby.

i quite enjoy tony's live version of the song. more than the studio version i think.

Well, technically, Lou Reed or one of the velvet underground wrote the guitar originally, and Cadogan more or less arranged and added the lead parts.
