Carnival

Where in the world have you been

It's as strange as I've ever lived

So you're coming along to the sideshow

I'll be falling all over like dominos

For girls are sad in their eyes

They're all standing around being hypnotized

And walking me back to the firing line

You smile to get in the door

You can't keep it closed anymore

Tell your ma that you're gone to the freak show

I'm crawling all over the carnival

Just scratching a stitch in a skin

I'm moaning for more of the medicine

In the morning you're wondering where you've been

Just turning your back to the ghost

And trying to look like you just might know

That all of the good that you've seen

Just went down and into the drain

Oh, kids am I straight out for now

In the morning I'm gonna find it on out

What in the world can it be

It's as strange as I've ever seen

The girls are dead in their eyes

Just standing around like they're hypnotized

Who'll follow me back to the freak show

I'm crawling all over the carnival

And I am gone

The kid's in a straight out for now

In the morning I'm wanna find it on out

What in the world can it be

It's as strange as I've ever seen

The girls are dead in their eyes

Just standing around like they're hypnotized

Who'll follow me back to the freak show

I'm crawling all over the carnival

And I am gone

Yeah

I'm riding on
