lyrics
You’re not the only one
You’ll have your day in the sun
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
You’re not the only one
The freaks and the strangers will come
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
I’m not the only one
A freak and a stranger I’m one
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
Let the games begin
As the tilterwhirl starts to spin
My house is open, come in
The mirrors here twist and grin
A shadow and an echo of fun
You’re lost and you’re left all alone
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
You’ll have your day in the sun
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
You’re not the only one
The freaks and the strangers will come
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
I’m not the only one
A freak and a stranger I’m one
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
Let the games begin
As the tilterwhirl starts to spin
My house is open, come in
The mirrors here twist and grin
A shadow and an echo of fun
You’re lost and you’re left all alone
Where has the carnival gone?
Where has the carnival gone?
