Come and see what's on my mind
See the clowns who play the daily show
Take your ticket and sit down
Outside you would be all alone

All the people sit and stare
The red lights's on, the world's on air
See the facts they disappear
It could be the truth if you pretend

Caught in the cage of hope and dreams
No world for me outside the screen
Welcome to the freak show
You don't have to come and play
Just relax you're fully entertained
Welcome to the freak show

Now the gods come to be praised
Beating up the man without a face
Children drowning in their dreams
But the savior's nowhere to be seen

All the people sit and stare
It's a lifetime-show without an end
See the facts they disappear
What we show you what you should pretend

Caught in the cage of hope and dreams
No world for me outside the screen
Welcome to the freak show
You don't have to come and play
Just relax you're fully entertained
Welcome to the freak show

The lights go out, the spotlight's on
You can feel the time is near
The master's here, to sing his song
Listen carefully, my dear
Full of surprise, so don't close your eyes
It's the best the world has seen
And all his words, beyond belief
As in the middle of our dreams

Caught in the cage of hope and dreams
No world for me outside the screen
Welcome to the freak show
You don't have to come and play
Just relax you're fully entertained
"Willkommen [???]"
Welcome to the freak show
