They're setting up out in the fields tonight
They're dropping the canvas in the cool moonlight
They bend the metal into Ferris Wheels
They've got the molten process down to a feel.
They'll light your ashes but in fair return
They'll blow them into the sky and let you watch it burn
They set the stars in place and you come alive
I don't know if this town can take so much excitement.
But me, my girl and you might have to go down
We'll see who'se invited and we'll mark the sound
We wrestle our pride and fight off going inside
And we break down fast like immitation strung up lights.
We step real careful down the grassy hill
We watch the Carnival and count the time until
The gates are closed and then we'll make our move
We'll say, "Take us away, please just take us with you"
This town can't handle noise and flashing lights
But for two rotten kids we might do it alright.
As for your lover who has gone astray?
These carnival lights shine and keep all the cold hearts away.
