.gather round, gather round!.

Gather round, gather round!
Come one, come all, form a proper queue, that's right!
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Circus!


Tonight we shall be showing
The sad fate that the world carries


Don't be fooled, ladies and gentlemen!
Master James and Miss Lydia are so tall and great, but they are gentle giants indeed!
Go on, why don't you say hello?
They do love your company, really they do!


Children that even God has abandoned
Left to fend for themselves in twisting city gutters


Our own prima donna, Lady Alice, right here, ladies and gentlemen!
Isn't she gorgeous! Isn't she wonderful!
Surely there can be no voice more beautiful, more angelic, wouldn't you say?
Such a shame that someone would want to let such a treasure rot in a gutter!


They cannot stand the distorted limbs they were created with
And they smile as they dream of a mother's love they never had


And such an oddity here, ladies and gentlemen!
A brother and a sister - but it is one body!
But then, they do say two heads are better than one, don't they?
Kee and Eel, their names are, and a bigger mystery can't be found!


Those who speak out are taken
And the child has to cower alone once more


A beast that eats things cold, yes indeed, ladies and gentlemen!
He has no voice, no eyes, all he can do is devour, and it doesn't matter what it is!
I don't suppose you'd toss him a mint or so, would you?
It'll make him happy, really it will!


What a show! What a show!
