Davey O. - Carnival
Carnival
1.) City lights behind me
Sunset to my west
The company I keep these days
Has always been the best
That’s why I feel like I am walking on a cloud
Listening to this band play
At a carnival on the edge of town
Listening to a band play
At a carnival on the edge of town
2.) You can’t guess my age or weight
Or that clowns bring out my fears
Hell, I can’t even tell you where
I might be in a year
But this carousel keeps spinnin’ ‘round and ‘round
The horses sing a sad song
At a carnival on the edge of town
The horses sing a sad song
At a carnival on the edge of town
[bridge] – Fireworks are lighting up the sky
All along the lakeside
And there’s no place I’d rather hide
Than right here, in your eyes
[instrumental break]
3.) Asphalt in my mirror
Sunrise straight ahead
You leave one life behind
To find a better one I guess
So you pack it up and move it to new ground
‘Cause you’re just another sideshow
At a carnival on the edge of town
We’re all another sideshow
At a carnival on the edge of town
