Mewithoutyou - Julian the onion

^AmLogger Days, savannah, the menage^Dmrie packed its trains Left ^AmBitter Root, Mon^Emtana for those ^Amold Nebraska plains ^AmTicket sales were suffering now, with ^Dmhalf the animals gone But the ^Amcircus kept its ^Emcourse somehow and the ^Amshow continued on ^AmPitched their tents in Battle Creek on a ^Dmmakeshift flatbed stage With a ^Amdraytop shotgun ^Emrhino's peak and a ^Amblack wrought iron cage The ^Ambarker sprung to action as the ^Dmband began to play To intro^Amduce the new a^Emttraction who they'd ^Ampicked up on the way

^AmJulian, ^DmJulian ^AmJulian the ^EmOnion who they'd ^Ampicked up on the way

[BARKER:] "^AmCleanse your minds and palates, as I ^Dmseldom mince my words This poor ^Amboy's a walking ^Emshallot; yes, it's ^Amshocking as you've heard! From his ^Amlonesome, yellow childhood, so fan^Dmtastically deformed He was ^Ambattered by his ^Emclassmates and sau^Amteed like bantam corn 'Red Vi^Amdalias!' 'Valley Sweets!' for ^Dmtwelve long, rotten years If he so ^Ammuch as skinned his ^Emknee, the entire ^Amschoolhouse moved to tears We ^Amfound him where he'd sprouted, plotting a ^Dmgarden coup d'etat In a ^Amcarrot stick and ^Emcelery stalk ma^Amnage-a-mirepoix Now, ^Amfeast your caramel eyes on the most ^Dmsavory sight in town!" All his ^Amjoking well-e^Emvoking peals of ^Amlaughter from the crowd

But ^AmJulian, ^DmJulian ^AmJulian the ^EmOnion was not ^Amlaughing with the crowd

His ^Amjaundiced face was trembling, beads of ^Dmsweat began to fall Down his ^Amoblong gooseback ^Emforehead to his ^Amsnuffed-out lantern jaw His ^Amcut-shoot sprig of hair disheveled, ^Dmtiny fists impearled [JULIAN:] "No I am ^Amnot this misshaped ^Embody, and I'm ^Amnot long for this world ^AmWooden dimes and quiet fears, come ^Dmcurl your lips at me But all per^Amceptions are as ^Emmirrors, it's your own re^Amflections that you see So ^Amhide behind your laughs a while, look ^Dmhandsome though you may Oh, do en^Amjoy that saccharine ^Emsmile, as there ^Amcomes for you a day"
