FOTUS Circus: Angels Eyes

America. It's high time you start being a little more angelic.

A little Mark Twain to sweeten the dread, / If it mattered, they’d keep us from voting instead.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They say America, when you gonna be angelic?
When you gonna bare your soul, drop that facade so slick?
Step right up to the mirror of truth tonight,
Under the big top, shadows dance in the pale moonlight.

[Chorus]
Angel eyes, devil’s lies,
Oh, the sweetest disguise.
Laugh with us as we peel back the show,
Where the hollow heart’s got nowhere to go.
Angel eyes, devil’s lies,
Can’t hide from the circus spies.

[Verse 2]
We won’t preach, won’t teach, won’t beg or implore,
You’re just here to witness the age-old gore.
A little Mark Twain to sweeten the dread,
If it mattered, they’d keep us from voting instead.

[Chorus]
Angel eyes, devil’s lies,
Oh, the sweetest disguise.
Laugh with us as we peel back the show,
Where the hollow heart’s got nowhere to go.
Angel eyes, devil’s lies,
Can’t hide from the circus spies.

[Outro]
So raise a glass to the great American scene,
Of promises made and forgotten dreams,
Under the lights where the shadows are drawn,
Step into our world, where the truth’s long gone.

Step right up. The FOTUS is in the ring, grotesque clowns are running the republic, and the entrance music is ubuesque. Enjoy.
