Carnival
Music by: Glenn Suravech & Lee Takasugi
Lyrics by: Lee Takasugi
They watch you
and it seems so easy
to be a star
They love you
engrave their names around you
and who you are
But I buy entrance to the carnival
where they speak in tongues
Yes, I hold out for that travelling carnival
I like the strange
Those years of yes sir, no sir, how'd you like me sir?
Am I making you laugh?
Those fears of yes sir, no sir, how can I change myself for you sir?
Are we having fun?
I'm standing here
With my eyes wide open
And I‚m staring down this deep dark hole
Cause I'm standing here
With my mouth wide open
And I'm going down
Saw your face grace another headline
you can do no wrong
touch no wrong
And me, I'm hangin' with my circus midget friends
cause they make me laugh
Those years of yes sir, no sir, how'd you like me sir?
Am I making you proud?
Those fears of yes sir, no sir, how can I change myself for you sir?
So then you‚ll come
Cause I'm standing here
With my eyes wide open
And I‚m staring down your deep dark hole
Cause I'm standing here
With my mouth wide open
No more going down
You say right at the red/green light
And then stop & go. . .will this take all night?
I bent down. . .knees to the ground
Ain‚t it marvelous the girl takes a bow.
You turn west and there's nothing left
'cept the tune going on. . .burning through your head
NO MORE DOWN!
NO MORE DOWN!
