Lyrics
Step right up lil' redneck renegade welcome to the midway
Moonshine medicine melanin-yellow in the Midstates
Tilt-a-whirl twistin' every sinner get a ribcage
Rattled by the rattle of the 808s and big bass
Cotton-candy clouds in the neon fog
Trailer-park gods playin' beer pong with Molotovs
Laugh now cry later that's the billboard law
When the lights cut out you'll remember what you saw
Carnival carcass parked in a marsh in the dark where the copperheads crawl
Carney with a scar and a flask full of harsh homemade bark at the law
Tar on my boots from the yard where they charred old cars in the yard by the stalls
Hard little kid with a heart full of sparks make art outta barbed-wire walls
Star-spangled banner on a ragged-out flannel hangin' off the hammer on a rusty nail
Musty ale funnel-cake dust in a gust of hail truck bed jump when the mufflers wail
Junkyard Jesuses drunk off jealousy jealousy's a felony in hick-town hell
Ticket to the freakshow keep yo' receipt you can't leave when they ring that bell
Flame-throwin' juggler meth-lab musk
Stepdad cussin' at the redhead mutt
Deadpan clown with a headband buzzed
Red can hush when the keg stand bust
Ride wristband stickin' to my sweat-soaked arm
Next broke farmhand flex gold charm
Ex-girl text say Let's go dawg
While her new man glare from the pet-show barn
Popgun pellets in the chalkline ducks
All-white Nikes in the off-brand mud
Saw a tall blonde witch in a soft glam rug
Turn a cross-hatched heart into raw-ham blood
Carousel creakin' to a half-time beat
Backseat preach in a blacked-out Jeep
Carny with a carbine bark like a mastiff
Laughin' in a mask like a bargain-bin demon at a bad thrift
Step right up lil' redneck renegade welcome to the midway
Moonshine medicine melanin-yellow in the Midstates
Tilt-a-whirl twistin' every sinner get a ribcage
Rattled by the rattle of the 808s and big bass
Cotton-candy clouds in the neon fog
Trailer-park gods playin' beer pong with Molotovs
Laugh now cry later that's the billboard law
When the lights cut out you'll remember what you saw
Snapback snap-roll snap to attention
Snap like a mousetrap crack in the engine
Back of the house where the fat man's sweatin'
Tat on his back say Bad intentions
Funhouse mirror make my jawline bend
Four-five versions of my off-brand twin
One look sober one look sinned
One look like I might never come back again
Ferris wheel steel in a vertigo curve
Every bolt squeal like it's learnin' new words
Every girl scream in a thermal blur
Every boy scheme on a bourbon slur
(triplet run)
Clickety-clack in the track when I kick it in a
Tickin' little pattern I be flippin' like a
Fidget in a mitten I'm a wicked little
Cricket in the thicket hear the rippin' of the
Ticket when I rip it then I stick it in the
Side of my fitted I'm a misfit vivid
Back to the midway midway mantra
Mouth like a six-gun misfire stanza
Panhandle prophet with a piss-poor plan
Playin' pitchfork jazz on a kid's band sampler
Fire-breather cough black tar in a laugh
Half carnival staff on bars in the back
Sharp little shard in the heart of the trash
Glass on the grass sound harsh when it crack
Side-show psycho ride-ride maestro
Eyes like lights on a five-mile light pole
Bible on the dash in a white Ford lipo'd
Idol in the gas like a nitro cyclone
Spiral in the sky when the tilt-a-whirl pivot
Little girl giggle then she spill her spirits
Fiddle in the distance a hillbilly lyric
Middle of the mischief I kill every critic
Step right up lil' redneck renegade welcome to the midway
Moonshine medicine melanin-yellow in the Midstates
Tilt-a-whirl twistin' every sinner get a ribcage
Rattled by the rattle of the 808s and big bass
Cotton-candy clouds in the neon fog
Trailer-park gods playin' beer pong with Molotovs
Laugh now cry later that's the billboard law
When the lights cut out you'll remember what you saw
Last call last ride last lost soul
Last bright light on a backroad pole
Laugh-track echo in the blacktop cold
When the fair pulls out all the ghosts roll home
Tickets all torn in a dish by the door
Whispers still spin where the big wheel roared
If you hear that chant in the pine-tree roar
That's the midway maniac askin' You want more?
