  • Ladies and Gentlemen, children of all ages
    Step right up and get your tickets to the greatest show on earth
    Where you'll witness death defying feats and acts of whisky Guzzling debauchery
    I wanna see you

    So get the fuck up!

    It's high noon when you step into the pit
    It's a monster's ball and their digging a ditch
    For the sunburnt the weary, the ones who won't last
    In this cyclone of flesh with this cathartic mix

    When the broken limbs are leading the match
    It's the ring masters itch we're amassed to scratch
    With the crack of the whip the carnies rush in to devour
    The beast that beats on drums of flesh

    Blistered embattled
    You fall to submission
    To complete the mission
    You rally and rise
    2-3-4

    Slack-jawed and entranced your torched by the sun
    You've caught the fever
    The day's just begun to burn. Ya!

    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball
    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball

    Hey you there in the neo-thrash prog math whatever metal shirt
    And cut off jeans trying to sneak away don't leave yet
    The best part of the show is just about to begin
    It's not over till the pretty ladies scream!

    So get the fuck up!

    Brothers in arms we shake our devil sticks
    Together as we climb walls of jagged bones together
    As you float away on a bed a callused hands
    With the crest in sight now it's time to go

    Over the edge, you take a decadent fall
    Behind the velvet rope you join the men on stilts
    The juggler winks and throws you a ball
    Before you know it you're part of it all

    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball
    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball

    Ladies and Gentlemen
    Step right up and get your tickets
    To the greatest show on earth

    We've never felt this free
    When I'm stepping blindly
    Cause we've never been so free
    My Acrobatic Army

    Ladies and Gentlemen

    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop

    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop

    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop

    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball
    Can't stop moving
    No you can't stop moving
    No you can't stop
    This monster's ball Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
