P.T. Barnum

Both

Right here right now

I put the offer out

I don't want to chase

you down

I know you see it

You run with me

and I can cut you free

Out of the drudgery

and walls you keep in

So trade that typical

for something colourful

and if it's crazy

live a little crazy

You can play it sensible

a king of conventional

or you can risk

it all and see

Don't you wanna

get away from

the same old

part you gotta play

'Cause I got

what you need

so come with me

and take the ride

It'll take you to

the other side

'cause you can do

like you do

or you can do like me

Stay in the cage

or you'll finally

take the key

oh damn

Suddenly

you're free to fly

it'll take you to

the other side

okay my friend

You want to cut me in

well I hate to tell you

but it just won't happen

So thanks but no

I think I'm good to go

'cause I quite enjoy

the life you say

I'm trapped in

Now I admire you

and that whole

show you do

You're onto something

really it's something

But I live among

the swells and

we don't pick up

peanut shells

I'll have to leave

that up to you

Don't you know

that I'm okay with

this uptown

part I get to play

'Cause I got what

I need and I don't

want to take the ride

I don't need to see

the other side

so go and do like you do

I'm good to do like me

Ain't in a cage

so I don't need to

take the key

oh damn can't you

see I'm doing fine

I don't need to see

the other side

is this really how you

like to spend your days

Whiskey and misery

and parties and plays

If I were mixed up

with you I'd be the

talk of the town

Disgraced and

disowned another

one of the clowns

You would finally live a

little finally laugh a little

just let me give you the

freedom to dream and

it'll wake you up

And cure your aching

take your walls and

start 'em breaking

Now that's a deal that

seems worth taking

but I guess I'll leave

that up to you

Well it's intriguing

but to go would

cost me greatly

So what percentage

of the show

would I be taking

Fair enough you'd want

a piece of all the action

I'd give you seven

we could shake

and make it happen

I wasn't born this

morning eighteen

would be just fine

Why not just go ahead

and ask for nickels

on the dime

Fifteen

I'd do eight

twelve

maybe nine

ten

Don't you wanna

get away to a whole

new part you're

gonna play

'Cause I got what

you need so come with

me and take the ride

To the other side

so if you do like I do

so if you do like me

Forget the cage 'cause

we know how

to make the key

oh damn suddenly

we're free to fly

We're going to

the other side

To the other side

we're going to

the other side

To the other side

we're going to

the other side
