Carnival

Your dreams may seem so far away
And then one summer day 
She calls you
She says, "Come pick me up
He's out of town
And I want to go to the carnival"

Carnival
Underneath the neon lights
Life's a carnival
Where you're kissing someone else's wife
Up on the ferris wheel 
The city's shining like a diamond ring
Here at the carnival
You've got the world on a string

Ride the bumper cars
The himalaya and the zipper too
Here at the carnival
You can do whatever you want to do
Oh, try your luck
Land a quarter on the spinning plate
At the carnival
Then she whispers that she thinks she's late

Carnival
Underneath the neon lights
Life's a carnival
Where you're kissing someone else's wife
Up on the ferris wheel 
The city's shining like a diamond ring
At the carnival
And you thought you thought of everything
