Buster turned round to me
And said hey kid you must be joking
You got an attitude
You think you're funny, but you're choking
Back every word that comes out of your mouth
(Ten girls ago)
You thought you had something to laugh about
But it was just a crazy thing
The wrong act in the wrong circus ring
The sweet pain of a needle's sting
Ten girls ago, ten girls ago
Eddie and Burt sneaked out the back
And threw up before every scene
The camera rolled and my life
Flashed before me just as if in a dream
A dog was leading me round on a chain
(Ten girls ago)
I kicked it, but I ended up in pain
But it was just a crazy thing
Flying an airplane made of string
Sweet pain of a needle's sting
Ten girls ago
Wrap it up in a paper cup
Put it in a bag for me
Get yourself another dog
Ah, you're barking up the wrong tree
And now I stand a hope in hell
Of not ending up in the bottom of a well
A place where all lost souls must go
When they don't know where their life is going
And now life glows with a life of its own
(Ten girls ago)
I would have told you my chances were blown
But it was just a crazy thing
The wrong act in the wrong circus ring
The sweet pain of a needle's sting
Ten girls ago
But it was just a crazy thing
Flying an airplane made of string
Sweet pain of a needle's sting
Ten girls ago, ten girls ago
Ten girls ago, ten girls ago
Ten girls ago, ten girls ago
