Elephant Man
John Merrick
Freak show fascination
Machine trauma exhumation
Have you found it?
Yes, (An awful morbid operation)
Did you see it? No.
One of the curious
Pay for a peek
Life is full of surprise's
Consider the fate
Consider the life
Torture as a spectacle
Deformed and mutated beyond reform
Rescued by sympathy
A man of faith Ugly as sin
A freak is never safe
Difference never wins
END
(inspired by the David Lynch film of the same title)
