Freaks Lyrics - Marillion

Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst potential? 

Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter how experimental? 

Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your hometown? 

Did you think you were buying safety 

When you bought that piece of ground? 

She said all the best freaks are here 

She said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me 

So I said all the best freaks are here 

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me 

Have you ever woke up, sweating in the middle of the night? 

You search the darkness and you're scrambling for the light 

Have you ever walked down the street, heard bootsteps following you? 

Don't worry my son, you've got the spook squad looking after you 

He said all the best freaks are here 

He said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me 

So I said all the best freaks are here 

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me, stop staring at me 

Airport terminal, patiently waiting on the last call 

You feel the eyes burn the back of your head 

Sign the autograph, get out of the picture, gonna have the last laugh 

Feel the whispers as you head for the plane 

Stop staring at me 

Love and linen sheets seem so very far away 

You save your pennies and you buy another day 

But after all it's only hide and seek, just another game 

There's so much fun to be had when you're living with a name 

All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are here, 

Please stop staring at me, all the best freaks are here 

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me 

Oh, stop staring at me, oh, stop staring at me 

They said all the best freaks are here 

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me 

All the best freaks are here 

All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
