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' hypnotised And walkin' me back to the firin' line Ya smile to get in the door Ya can't keep it closed anymore Tell your ma that you're gone to the freakshow 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 hypnotised 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 want to 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 hypnotised Who'll follow me back to the freak show I'm crawlin' all over the carnival And I am gone --- Carnival - Mark Lanegan
