The Carnival Songtext
von Corey Smith

Here we go again
Around and around
Oh it′s a merry ride
'Til you′re back on the ground
You dizzy up the child
'Til the tickets are gone
And it's time for the carnival
To be moving on

It carries you up
Oh it makes you feel alive
It makes you laugh
It makes you cry
We fold the tents
We take the carousel apart
And roll away
We roll away
The sooner you can learn it never lasts
The more you′ll enjoy the carnival


Don′t hold your breath
Don't close your eyes
Let go of the handle bars
So your fingers can fly
Seize the night
And the autumn wind
′Til we close the house of fun
And leave town again

Don't be afraid
To be so easily amused
It′s a thrill
We all could use
Just like love
It wears a candy apple coat
That melts away
We melt away
The sooner you can learn it never lasts
The more you'll enjoy the carnival

Listen for the calliope
Keep a lookout for the clowns
Be the first in line, the last to leave
When we come back around

It carries you up
Oh it makes you feel alive
It makes you laugh
It makes you cry


Just like love
It wears a candy apple coat
That melts away
We melt away

And it′s over in the twinkling of an eye
So enjoy the carnival
Enjoy the carnival
