CARNIVAL OF LIFE
Purple words float around me in this town
Sing like a cabaret with words that are twisted
Broken and beaten down
You were there as I saw the final scene
A perfect display of a washed-up dreamer
Car crash beauty queen
And you don’t want to know
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I can't hold it in for much longer
And you don’t wanna see me hurting
The carnival is calling
So I might as well enjoy the ride
Oh my god what a beautiful design
The carnival of life keeps marching
On in this city showing no pity
Speak to me and wash my fears away
So I can deal with the ending the final refrain
the curtain call is moments away
The clowns they welcome the crowd
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I can't hold it in for much longer
And you don’t wanna see me hurting
The carnival is calling
So I might as well enjoy the ride
Stage lights blinding
Block the crowd out now
But this isn’t what you wanted
A vision that is haunted
And all your dreams are dust
You better make the most of this
Before you burn out
Roses rain upon the stage again
Address the congregation screaming
Oh what an angel is blessing us tonight
Take your bow and don’t forget to smile
The cycle goes on forever a constant refrain
over and over and over again
Hollywood is near
I don’t wanna break your heart
But I can't hold it in for much longer
And you don’t wanna see me hurting
The carnival is calling so I might as well enjoy the ride
