Carnival Songtext
von Rustic Overtones

I think she ran away
She must have ran away
With the carnival
Today
She loved the chimpanzees
She always loved flying trapeze
She loved the carnival
More than she loved me

How can I hold her like the strongest men lie?
How can I get her high?
She rides the Ferris wheel all night
I start to cry
And the moonlight in my tears looks like the Midway lights
I think she′s with the carnival tonight


I think she ran away
She must have ran away
When the circus was in town
Today
I thought we got along
I thought nothing was wrong
She was the happiest
I've seen her in days

I can′t sleep when you're with the three-legged men
We had a lovely house, now it's the big top tents
Give me a chance
I can love you more than those elephants
But she wants the clowns
That make the horses dance

You′re with the carnival, I guess
You′re with the carnival, I guess
You're with the carnival, I guess
You′re with the carnival, I guess

I think she ran away
She must have ran away
With the carnival
Today
I thought I smelled her cotton candy breath
In those balloons
I can see her face, but it's all covered in tattoos


How can I hold her like the strongest men lie?
How can I get her high?
She rides the Ferris wheel all night
I start to cry
And the moonlight in my tears looks like the Midway lights
I think she′s with the carnival tonight
She must be with the carnival tonight
I think she's with the carnival
