"The Carnival" lyrics

Get out your sun hats and meet me out front
Come one, come all, we've got big things to show you
If you get lost, let's meet up in this spot
Just watch out for carnies who scam like they know you
The Ferris wheel stands
So tall and you wonder what it would be like to go up there
Hold out your hands
Here's your tickets, count them, but
Don't spend them all too fast

We're all here for the ride
The carnival, it doesn't disappoint
Careful when you step inside
You might miss out on all the fun

Fresh from the teacups, you're standing in line
You shot up, so now you can ride roller coasters
Throw up your lunch next to the flashing sign
Hit the bell, and you can be our next big winner
The Ferris wheel stands
Above the attractions, but don't look while you are still dreaming
The mallet's in your hands
You swing, but you miss
"Boy, as if you thought you could be the one!"

We're all here for the ride
The carnival, it doesn't disappoint
Careful when you step inside
You might miss out on all the fun

Close your eyes, step inside
Hold on tight

We're all here for the ride
The carnival, it doesn't disappoint
Careful when you step inside
You might miss out on all the fun

Close your eyes, step inside
Hold on tight, don't think twice

The moment you've been waiting for
Sitting quiet at the top
Looking down at your family of carnies
You can see the world from up here
Everything makes so much sense now
Everything does
You feel the wheel unhinge, and
You know it's your time
You know it's your time
You know it's your time
Close your eyes
Hold on tight, cause' finally
You get to be
The world's most beautiful tragedy
