Carnival Games

If you spend enough cash at the carnival games
 You'll have a prize in your hand when you walk away
 Let it slip through your fingers and you'll never know
 What winning's really like, oh
 I stayed there too long, now it's in my soul
 And when the thunder rolls, I got nowhere to go
 I keep going round on this carousel
 Because it spins me so well
 And I'll stay with you just a little while
 There's so much for us to see and do
 But don't mistake this for an adventure in paradise
 Just because the rides look so good
 Carnival games are so much fun to play, hard to just walk away from
 And all you want, a pretty thing but the price you pay is
 Always too much, you'll never dry up these tears
 Crying from all the years playing carnival games
 Didn't know which way to look, all the shining lights
 And your name on the postcard of your life
 And everyone will say that you came to conquer
 Yeah, you won the whole race
 But don't mistake this for an adventure in paradise
 Just because the rides look so good

 I wanna shed all of my skin, feel my blood as it takes the wind
 I don't know where to begin

 Carnival games are so much fun to play, hard to just walk away from
 And all you want are pretty, pretty things
 You can't walk away once you play the game
 You can't get back what you paid from all the years
