Lyrics:

They weren't surprised by the wind and rain
They took off east, I think that's what they did
They were just two of the wildest, bored creatures on earth
Fed up with work, strip bars and loneliness galore
In an old Oldsmobile that one of them bought off their father
They ate up so much road - they was grinnin' (Hah-hah.)
(Then they came upon The Thing)

This is real - this is now,
This is a freak show baby, anyhow
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love
Heals the curious magic soul
Big top drama from head to toe
Cactus, venom, rodeo
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love

Two hours later they decided to stop at a diner
'Cause they just loved the smell of eggs and coffee
I just had to smoke a cigarette and wear a hat
By the time that they set off again, the sun was starting to set
It made the sky look red like a nuclear ray
One of them said,
'What do you want more than anything in this whole wide world?
Do you want money, do you want sex, or do you want all that success?'
I thought about that myself
(Then they came upon The Thing)

This is real - this is now,
This is a freak show baby, anyhow
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love
Heals the curious magic soul
Big top drama from head to toe
Cactus, venom, rodeo
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love

The Thing ahead sixty miles, do not miss
Not for the squeamish or depressed,
Not for the unbelievers, truly obsessed -
Something you just don't wanna miss
It's the kind of place where space explorers could have landed around 1963 -
When Kennedy was in Life Magazine
And everything was aquamarine...
Aquamarine.

This is real - this is now,
This is a freak show baby, anyhow
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love
Heals the curious magic soul
Big top drama from head to toe
Cactus, venom, rodeo
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love
Oh, the church of logic, sin and love
