Carnival

Where in the world have you been

It's as strange as I've ever lived

So you're comin' along to the sideshow

I'll be fallin' all over like Dominos

For girls are sad in their eyes

They're all standin' around bein' hypnotized

And walkin' me back to the firin' 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 crawlin' all over the carnival

Just scratchin' a stitch' in a skin

I'm moanin' for more of the medicine

In the mornin' you're wonderin' where ya been

Just turnin' your back to the ghost

And tryin' 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 mornin', 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 standin' around like they're hypnotized

Who'll follow me back to the freak show

I'm crawlin' all over the carnival

And I am gone

The kid's in a straight out for now

In the mornin', 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 standin' around like they're hypnotized

Who'll follow me back to the freak show

I'm crawlin' all over the carnival

And I am gone
