Carnival |
| In a smoky tent I approached his loudness |
| Step by step up the long stairway |
| And looked into the barrel at Evel Knievel’s greatgrandfather |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| He was flying by in a silver jacket |
| He rode there in the barrel wall rocket |
| Securely held by centrifugal forces |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Every time he touched the edge |
| With the gas pipe gulp of the fumes in my lungs and melt my mind |
| Exploding |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Flying through the air |
| With the greatest of ease |
| The daring young lady |
| In the greatest show on earth |
| The giant wheel turned in the sky |
| Its colors splashed in my eyes |
| The barkers calling to me on the midway |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| I held the picture in my eye |
| From a photo booth near by |
| With a girl so lovely |
| I loved hear dearly at the time |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| She had the sugar in her eyes |
| I was totally mesmerized |
| As we walked together towards the big tower |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Flying through the air |
| With the greatest of ease |
| The daring young lady |
| In the greatest show on earth |
| Aside the girl of flaming red hair |
| Later that day I returned there |
| Perhaps the devil himself had been the father |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Then we consumed the giant midway |
| Taking it in 'til it threw us away |
| Yes, we wandered among the crowds of circus goers, circus goers |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Eating fire and swallowing snakes |
| A potpourri of nature’s mistakes |
| On display at the tent of the bearded ladies |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Riding through the night |
| With the greatest of ease |
| The daring young lady |
| In the greatest show on earth |
| We were grinding to the human beast |
| There was nothing safe about it |
| Nothing was right and nothing was wrong on the midway |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| I do resent |
| Too much time was spent |
| In the tent of the strange elephant of enlightenment |
| My mind was free |
| My thoughts were pure |
| How much good could a man endure |
| As he made his way towards the big tower |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Flying through the air |
| With the greatest of ease |
| The daring young lady |
| In the greatest show on earth |
| Grinding through the night |
| To the human beat |
| There’s nothing safe about it |
| Nothing safe about the greatest show on earth |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
| Carnival, carnival, carnival, carnival |
