[Verse 1]
Why you hidin', why you hidin',
What you hiding for?
In the shadows, in the shadows,
Should be on the floor,
Under the spotlight, under the spotlight,
O-oh, o-oh,
You're the color, you're the color,
In a static world,
Kinda crazy, kinda crazy,
And you're beautiful,
Get off the sidelines, 
Into the spotlight,
O-oh, o-oh.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all more than a little strange,
Deemed clinically insane,
Make way to the center stage where you belong.
 
[Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are,
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show,
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival,
Come out now, wherever you are,
You can't keep diamonds in the dark,
It's not a freak show,                    
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival.

 [Verse 2]
Why you frozen, why you frozen,
In an open cage?
Should be dancing, should be dancing,
Up in outer space,
Into the starlight, into the starlight,
O-oh, o-oh.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
We're all more than a little strange,
Deemed clinically insane,
Make way to the center stage where you belong.

 [Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are,
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show,
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival,
Come out now, wherever you are,
You can't keep diamonds in the dark,
It's not a freak show,
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival.
 
[Interlude]
(Whistling)
 (It's not a freak show),
(Tell all the freaks show),
 (La-la-la-la-la).

 [Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are,
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show,
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival,
Come out now, wherever you are,
You can't keep diamonds in the dark,
It's not a freak show,
Tell all the freaks sho--ow up at the carnival.

[Outro]
(Whistling)
(It's not a freak show),
(Tell all the freaks show),
(La-la-la-la-la).
