Mind Melt Machine

I got me a real mean machine
A steam powered mind melt machine
I'm slipping out of my mind
Leave my old self behind
Falling through a crack into
Another world to begin anew
I'm gonna go where no man has ever been
Blissed out on pure mescaline
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm slipping out of my mind
Leave my old self behind
Falling through a crack into
Another world to begin anew
I got me a real mean machine
A steam powered mind melt machine

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!

I'm going down, I'm going down
I'm going down, I'm going down
