Lyrics
PEGGY VAIN
VERSE 1 She walks into the crowded shop, Nobody knows her name
everybody?s watching her, toss that mane of hair across her face
I?ve seen that face before, I?ve seen that face around town
CHORUS Everybody?s favourite sideshow, I didn?t catch your name.
Peggy Vain.
VERSE 2 Purge me exorcise me, give me that secret feeling
she?s got her finger on my trigger, on the button of desire
purge me, then exorcise me then watch me crumbling, tumbling down
CHORUS Everybody?s favourite sideshow. I didn?t catch your name.
Peggy Vain.
VERSE 3 Oh baby you?re killing me everytime you start thrilling me oh no
I want, I want, I want, I want to do it but I can?t no more
What?s your kind of love, what?s your kind of love mama
I?ve cheated you, I?ve beaten you and now, I?m walking right out the door
CHORUS Everybody?s favourite sideshow I didn?t catch your name.
Everybody?s favourite sideshow I didn?t catch your name.
Peggy Vain.
