They Might Be Giants — Atlanta (Variety Playhouse, or Variety Playhouse Freak-In) lyrics

The Variety Playhouse is like a hospital
For people who are well
The music and the colored lights
Are like an antiseptic smell
Electric guitars are nurses
That wrap you all in gauze
And the songs we play
Are the hospital bill
You pay with your aplau-au-au-au-ause
Aplau-au-au-au
