LYRICS 
 
Shimmy up and shimmy down, now the circus is in town 
Burn me up and burn me strong, someone left the kettle on 
When I was a little boy,  never used to play with toys 
Now I have become a man, I knew you wouldn?t understand 
 
Shimmy up and shimmy down, now the circus is in town 
Burn me up and burn me strong, someone left the kettle on 
When I was a little boy,  never used to play with toys 
Now I have become a man, I knew you wouldn?t understand 
 
I wish my thoughts were corporeal 
It would make it easier 
For me to gather them 
?Cause my heart tends to scatter them 
 
Cheshire cat is heroine, perfect drug is back again 
Madness ?cause of mercury, oh no what is wrong with me? 
Homogeneous and discordant, better that I just forget 
Moistness comes with Mary Jane, perfect drug is back again 
 
I wish my thoughts were corporeal 
It would make it easier 
For me to gather them 
?Cause my heart tends to scatter them 
 
A friend of mine once had a soul 
She spent a night, with a friend whom she loved 
She woke up confused because he soul wasn?t there. 
 
Evocative and cynical, your listening is critical 
Burn me up and burn me strong, someone left the kettle on 
Never used to play with toys, when I was a little boy 
Now I have become a man, I knew you wouldn?t understand 
 
I wish my thoughts were corporeal 
It would make it easier 
For me to gather them 
?Cause my heart tends to scatter them
