Circus Envy

Here comes that awful feeling again Welcome the ugly animal I hold my breath to watch you swing My high rope acrobat ball and chain I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up I've got my telescope head in the haystack I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command Here comes that awful feeling again Make way for monster jealousy The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl I'd spelled your name with Oatios He messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up I've got my telescope head in the haystack I am tired of your dodgeball circus act Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command (You're mean, mean, mean) (You tease, tease, tease me) If I were you I'd really run from me I'd really, really wish that I were you When I get loose, I'll climb a tree And drop a load on your head This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up I've got my telescope head in the haystack I am jealous of your dodgeball circus act Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command (You're mean, mean, mean) (You tease, tease, tease me) Do you smell jealousy? Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy? --- Circus Envy - R.E.M.
