Verse 1 Demon child, with blue skin and yellow eyes Smell of brimstone, creepin' in the dead of night Swashbucklin', prayin' to God when things are bad That's why they tried to put the X across my head
Flip on cats, the way that acrobatics do I'm a king, still holdin' excalibur too And really tell me if you...ever thought that you Was just a little different, people always stared at you
Sometimes life is a circus, it makes me nervous And then one day, your true inner power emerges Puff of smoke, you're moving to better places now Doing everything that you can to make a difference now
And I remember when the kids used to be scared of ya Winzeldorf, when growin' up in Bavaria They said the winters were bad, you got older Remember how they said that the nights were even colder
[chorus] First I'm over here (pan L) Then I'm over there (pan R) Then I'm in your ears (pan M) So best to listen dear
As I'm crawling through the night With the finish in sight Cuz it's not the way you look, It's the way that you fight
First I'm over here (pan R) Then I'm over there (pan L) Then I'm in your ears (pan M) So best to listen dear
As I'm crawling through the night And I'm walkin' to the light Cuz it's not way you act It's the way that you fight Verse 2 So you dressed a little different, some called you a circus freak Your family abandoned you up the river creek And you lost a bit of mystique the bigger that you grew up Realizing that the mob was plenty angry indeed
But you stuck to your guns, made the best of the situation Devil in the sky, but no angels were awaiting All alone baby, you grew up maybe Scrapped when others cornered you, you had to do that too
And pretty soon, you met a slew of other dudes That's down to ride, and soon, you're runn ing with a crew You met a lady, who made you feel less blue Who looked straight in your eyes and she could see right through
Who knew, that ugly baby would grow up just to be the person that you became, that's who you're gonna be So when you're born in the dark, and feel your heart is a rock Well every night becomes the dawn, you gotta crawl before you walk
[refrain line] Crawling through the night as I'm holdin' a mic"
