lyrics

Don Cornholione,
Take my enemies for a swim.
I'll be on the ferris wheel
Wearing nothing but a massive grin.
Question my authority
And you'll answer to his fickle whims.
In a flight of fancy
He's been known to go and pull the pin.

Tell me how
You moved around from town to town.

Sober up in the dunk tank,
Stare into the mirror maze.
I'd be lying if I said
I hadn't dreamt about this day.
The perfect apprentice
Master of target games.
Holding down the whole fairground
Ready to take the blame.

Don Cornholione
Wears a monocle on his chin.
Burns all ants and shrubbery,
Sends condolences to next-of-kin.
In that fateful accident
The pesky glassy bit was his downfall.
Bring him in for questioning
Though I'll happily take the fall.

Tell me how
That big top burned down to the ground
In another town.
The evidence and ashes corroborate.

Sober up in the drunk tank,
Think about the mirror maze,
It holds a part of your reflection.
Stole a part of your reflection.
The shadow of a former kingpin
Overcome by malaise,
Sentenced to a life so strange
From the very first day.
