Carnival Man |
| It’s a quarter past midnight and she ain’t no Cinderella |
| She’s swallowed all your best lines and she’s staying in the hotel |
| You’ve got a number from the bar tab that she’s running |
| The circus comes to town |
| Temptation! |
| Oooh, such a temptation! |
| Such a temptation! |
| The cage door is open and you’re living on the high wire |
| Clowning in the spotlight you’ve got no one to bring you down |
| The cab’s impatient, this lady’s willing |
| The ringmaster calls you down |
| Temptation! |
| Oh, such a temptation! |
| Temptation! |
| Oh, such a temptation! |
| The Carnival Man! |
| So glad to know you |
| The Carnival Man! |
| You’re shaking hands with |
| The Carnival Man! |
| So pleased to meet you |
| The Carnival Man! |
| Call me Mister Temptation |
| Like a bullet in a chamber that you’re thinking is empty |
| You press it to your temple with a finger on the trigger |
| An act of bravado, an act of defiance |
| It’s all eyes upon you now |
| Temptation! |
| Oh, such a temptation! |
| Temptation! |
| Oh, such a temptation! |
| The Carnival Man! |
| So glad to know you |
| The Carnival Man! |
| You’re shaking hands with |
| The Carnival Man! |
| So pleased to meet you |
| The Carnival Man! |
| Call me Mister Temptation |
| Is there anything you want? |
| Anything you desire? |
| Just tell me anything you need |
| They call me Mister Temptation |
| You’re the life and soul of every party |
| Now you’re walking wounded, just another casualty |
| You’ve got my sympathy, you’ve got my calling card |
| This call’s collect |
| I’m the Carnival Man |
| You may remember me as Mister Temptation |
| Carnival Man |
| This is the day that the circus leaves town |
| Goodbye, Carnival Man |
| This is the day that the circus leaves town |
| Goodbye |
| This is the day that the circus leaves town |
| There is a long (well over a minute) instrumental break before the verse |
| Beginning «You're the life and soul…» |
| -- Geoff Parks |
