The Autumn Carnival

You come around to the autumn carnival
It's glowing like a jack-o-lantern on the hill
You should be younger now than you were then
Trading silver for thrill
You come around to the autumn carnival
There is a fog in the hall of mirrors
The ghost of a tree line has jumped the track
Like a carousel which is turning back
Create all the things that you lack
You can go there if you need
And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
Ferris wheel unshadows and shatters
Across the ground into the eyes of the innocent
The carnie spits at the wax moon
And all that hell that was gone too soon
And you can go there if you need
And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
Here comes the rain so you move inside
There is no compass, there is no guide
And is no mask behind which to hide
You come around to the autumn carnival
You come around to the autumn carnival
And you can take it if you need
'Cause it will fix, guaranteed
You come around to the autumn carnival
