The Illustrated Man ft. Paul Roland Lyrics

Roll up roll up and see the illustrated man

Roll up roll up he has your future in his hand

Step up step up you won't believe your eyes

There's no more thrilling sight that money can buy

Only 10 cents to take a peek

Wonder of wonders the tattooed freak

The illustrated man

He has your future in his hand

The illustrated man

He has your future in his hand

Hurry hurry come marvel at the freak

So lifelike you'll swear that they can speak

Hurry hurry you won't want to miss the show

The carnival is here tonight and we're gone tomorrow!

See scenes unfold across his back and chest

Scenes of sin and crime etched in ink upon his breast

Roll up roll up and see the illustrated man

Roll up roll up He has your future in his hand

You would swear they were real, for half a dollar I might let you feel them

They seem to burn with an almost sulphurous glow

If you're quiet you can almost hear them speak, is it not so?

This is no work of a Carnie tattooist but a sorceress, an occult artist

Step inside, you won't believe your eyes!

I guarantee there is no more thrilling sight that money can buy!
