This got me spinning till i'm sick and turned around

I wish someone would show me how to get off this merry go round

It seems there's something here ain't right for the ticket price

They say come win the prize come win the prize a winner every time

Gunna take a ride gunna crash and burn

Some are gunna fly it'll make you churn

You may want to leave but you're never gunna this way

Everyone's waiting for a chance to die

The steel is shrieking and the bolts all cry

The frame is old and breaking down

I wish I never heard the sound

The bar I'm under seems to slip away

Take a ride

Twirling and whirling

Swinging side to side

It's the same old carnival

Check the sign

Know that if you're tall enough to roll

You gave away your gold

A spotlight shines the clowns all rise

The lion's roar makes the master cry

The flames from the floor begin to rise

It seems we used to have it all

Until the big top took a fall

But now the elephants give their peanuts away

We'll take a ride

All of us are welcome to the show

Gentleman's and ladies step inside

Take a ride

Wondering where the hell we're gunna go

When there's no one left to throw

The same old carnival

This got me spinning till I'm sick and turned around

I wish someone would show me how to get off this merry go round

It seems there's something here ain't right for the ticket price

They say come win the prize come win the prize a winner every time

When we gunna learn that it's all a show

The crowd don't matter if the price is low

The tent is burning and we're undertow

One clown is all that's left alive

To see the fate of all mankind

A lonely tear drops from his clowny face

With a smile
