| Ladies and gentlemen, gather around
|
| Prepare yourself for yet another story
|
| From the realm of the magnificent… Dark Carnival
|
| Have you ever heard the old carnival tale?
|
| Some say it’s all bullshit, some say it’s for real
|
| It’s about big carousel, merry go round
|
| Unlike any other on carnival grounds
|
| The lights are so bright and so many colors
|
| With horses and swans, and all of the others
|
| It’s hard to resist for a child so young
|
| Some hear the music and follow the drum
|
| It only appears in the dead of the night
|
| Children become mesmerized at the sight
|
| One minute they’re there in their beds sound asleep
|
| When they see it or hear it, they’re bound to creep
|
| Right out of their houses; |
| they’re drawn right up to it
|
| It’s much too spectacular, they have to do it
|
| They stand right before it, like it’s just a dream
|
| 'Cause it’s the most beautiful sight that they’ve ever seen
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The children have gathered, they’re standing around it
|
| It’s never been here before. |
| They all astounded
|
| They wanna get on it, but is it for free?
|
| They don’t see anyone collecting a fee
|
| Who’s gonna be the first to jump on aboard it
|
| Finally one kid does, then the rest, they hoard it
|
| Some jump on horses. |
| Some jump on elephants
|
| Some just relax and sit on a bench
|
| The kids all enjoy the ride up and down
|
| All while the carousel spins around
|
| The lights and the music, it’s all captivating
|
| Little do they know, it’s all devastating
|
| As the ride spins all the kids aboard cheer
|
| Nobody notices they’ve grown a year
|
| The children keep riding as time goes by
|
| They’re aging in years on this mystical ride
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| First they’re all the teenagers, they keep on spinning
|
| Then they’re all young adults, all of 'em grinning
|
| They’re blind to the fact they’re aging in time
|
| Once little kids, now they’re all in their prime
|
| But they just riding. |
| It lights up the darkness
|
| Something so beautiful, truly is heartless
|
| The neighbors and parents all peacefully sleep
|
| While the carousel attracted their children like sheep
|
| Well, children they were, now they’re middle-aged adults
|
| Still growing older, the carousel’s fault
|
| The merry-go spins as the times go by
|
| The children are now so old, they’re about to die
|
| Finally the carousel slows its roll
|
| To these elderly victims, it’s taking its toll
|
| All of them exit and realize their damages
|
| And just like that, the carousel vanishes
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (shine so bright and then)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| The lights on the carousel (Woo!)
|
| Spin around and round
|
| And all the old people tried to return home
|
| (Spin around and round)
|
| But they were all thought to be senile
|
| (Spin around and round)
|
| Their entire lives wasted on one ride
|
| (Spin around and round)
