Carnival Lyrics

oh-a-oh oh-a-oh oh-oh-oh-a
oh-a-oh oh-a-oh oh-oh-oh-a

Verse 1:
Stand in line to get your best seat
Don't leave me stranded on the street
You're with me, then you're gone
Stay here with me or were done

Chorus
Up down, spinning around
I dont know which way to turn
High low where did you go
Lost in a carnival X 2

Verse 2
Stuck in a maze, in a house of mirrors.
Is it an illusion, are you really here?
Mixed messages, from every place.
I don't know what to do, not sure what to say.

Chorus
Up down, spinning around
I dont know which way to turn
High low where did you go
Lost in a carnival X 2

Bridge -
this masquerade brings a beautiful fear a game of chance
I was perfectly delusional
cinderella's midnite dance


Chorus
Up down, spinning around
I don't know which way to turn
High low where did you go
Lost in a carnival X 2

A Carnival A Carnival
A Carnival A Carnival
A Carnival A Carnival
A Carnival A Carnival

Ending
Odds as low, so take a chance
when you toss a ring, can't always see where it lands
