Sunshine + Gasoline

"Oh yeah, all kinds of them . . . everybody seemed to uh, that's right they're just walkin' around doin' nothin', even on their own . . . play with the children, kid around. Anybody that - that the son wasn't ashamed to walk out the way they was, who had a tattoo, or the fat lady and the bareheaded person, or the alligator skin . . . that wouldn't be odd, they had so many odder things down there. But that goes out to whatever carnival all over the world, all over the countries. And a lot of freak of natures were put into it. Used to call them "geeks." A "geek" was a person who was an alcoholic or on drugs. And they put 'em in a cage, and he was a wild-man. But they stopped that in the cities and they . . . but the carnival got traveled in the country . . . they still had the "geeks." They'd all come pay money to see a man, like an animal in a cage.
But uh, it wasn't done because it was uh, uh, uh, a playground . . . you see, some for the first time were amazed . . . and you remember it was part of the sideshow. But today they got so many "geeks" out there . . . that they're actually running amongst the public, not in a cage where they should be. They're runnin' in the street amongst us all"
