Lyrics

THE CARNIVAL
Katrina Burgoyne
7/22/11

Well they played a gypsy song
As the vans rolled into town
The dusty roads they drove turned to stone

There was jasmine in the air
But the magic drew me here
Like a Pied Piper the children follow too

Come on step inside, step inside
You want to feel the thrill of a carnival ride?
Come on, step inside, step inside
But they’ll steal your soul if you close your eyes

My mind was hypnitised
By bright lights and buzzing rides
My feet refused to listen to my head

So I danced in a daze
Through a bewitched people maze
Wondering if my heart would stop me dead

Chorus

As the day light disappears, a candle burns for me
But if you miss me, you know where I’ll be

Come on step inside, step inside
You want to feel the thrill of a carnival ride?
Come on, step inside, step inside
But we’ll steal your soul if you close your eyes
