From the recording Step Inside
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
