Mr. Bungle

Mr. Bungle is an American experimental band from Eureka, California. The band was formed in 1985 while the members were still in high school, and was named after a children's educational film regarding bad habits which was featured in a Pee-wee Herman HBO special in the early '80s.

A carnival for the human race 
Cotton candy, happy face 
A child talking with his mouth full 
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal 

A festive mood is all around 
Another world is what we've found 
Step right up, let's make a deal 
Let's ride on the ferris wheel 

You know there's something lurking underneath the shape 
With a mask over it's head and makeup on his face 
Into the house of mirrors goes a clown and his elf 
Take a look in the mirror and see the clown in yourself 

If you want to know what's behind the show 
You ride my carousel and enter life's jail cell 
Love and blood begin to meld, you've lost the self that you once held 
Merry go round your head - awake, asleep, alive, or dead. 

The clown that painted a smile on you 
Is now the one unmasking you 
Animated scenes unwind 
Dormant figures come to life 

Entangled in your own web 
A twisted tunnel overhead 
A glimpse of light, a drop of dew 
You slide into the swimming pool 
A roller coaster ride into the rivers of your mind 
The currents merge, your feelings surge, your life's a pantomime 
Beauty is the spiral going round & round the beast 
Without the vampire effect the carnival is deceased 

Fun. 

Roly Poly 
Topsy turvy 
Hang upside down 
Fall to the ground 
I think I'm going to be sick
