Carnival Knowledge (second hand face)

I've never done it said the circus clown
 See this is really my nose
 I ran away back in junior high
 Got this job and these clothes
 You know I started out an altar boy
 So that retarded me some
 I've been saving up and down for years
 To have the surgery done
 I had a chance once with the popcorn girl
 Until her father stopped that
 He said he'd give me holes I didn't need
 With a certain knifethrowing act
 I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
 Till I am out of this place
 You may know someone who would want my job
 And a second hand face
 I know a doctor who can do the job
 Back in our winter town
 It's slow to save what on this salary
 And so much competition around
 It got so bad I just didn't try no more
 A heatless low head of esteem
 I have to settle for the paper views
 And the occasional dream
 The smile I've got is one that's painted on
 I could paint one on you
 I just can't sell myself to pay for love
 Like the other clowns do
 I'll roll my quarters and I'll roll my dimes
 Till I am out of this place
 You may know someone who would want my job
 And a second hand face
 And a second hand face
 And a second hand face
