Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen, please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe

Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more

Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen!

Boom! (Do you want it?)
Boom! (Do you need it?)
Boom! (Let me hear it!)
Ladies and gentlemen!

Boom! (Do you want it?)
Boom! (Do you need it?)
Boom! (Let me hear it!)
Ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen, good evening
You've seen, and seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you're still breathing

Hold tight 'cause the show is not over
If you will please move in closer
You're about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here

Welcome to the show (Welcome to the show)
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen!

Boom! (Do you want it?)
Boom! (Do you need it?)
Boom! (Let me hear it!)
Ladies and gentlemen!

Boom! (Do you want it?)
Boom! (Do you need it?)
Boom! (Let me hear it!)

Welcome to the show (Welcome to the show)
We're glad you came alone (We're glad you came alone)
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen!

Boom! (Do you want it?)
