They Might Be Giants - Quit the Circus Lyrics

I'll blink once for no
I'll blink twice for no
you hijack my thoughts every single night
you could be more help but you don't help a lot
scarecrows only work in the light
seeking a purpose stuck in the circus
now I make as much sense as the car on the lawn
sinking real low until it is gone

I can barely think thinking to myself
I'll stay in the car while you raise some hell
there must be a way to scare off this old ghost
the one I fear the most of the time

all our descendants finish the sentence
we're as much use as the rotary phone
we keep on the floor to prop the door closed
