it comes around once a year
absorbing all your wasted tears
i never thought this time would come
where your heartbeats as loud as a drum
it's the carnival that everyone talks about
never leaving anyone out
where kids go missing
and the parents are kissing
it's a sight for sore eyes
may lose your life on a ride
it's the carnival of lights
where your soul is up for a fright
it sure gets spooky out there
make sure you keep your persons near
this place will surely make you feel unsafe
leave your dignity at the gate
it's a sight for sore eyes
may lose your life on a ride
it's the carnival of lights
where your soul is up for a fright
this place may be cursed
and your lips will be pursed
you won't know whether to scream or cry
poets come here to unwind
it's a sight for sore eyes
may lose your life on a ride
it's the carnival of lights
where your soul is up for a fright
