Carnival

Well the bearded lady winked at the tattoo man
And the tattoo man took her by the hand
Together they walked into their house of mirrors
And that starts a whole bunch of these sideshow rumors
They were a little bit afraid of looking at each other
`Cause everybody said "You look weird together"
When the lights go up and the sun goes down
They're the perfect couple underneath these pink cotton candy clouds
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
And the sword swallower swallowed his pride
And he fell at the knees of his contortionist bride
He said "You bent over backwards, honey, to give me your love
And it's made me believe in the God above"
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
And the fat lady looked so beautiful
Under the fried dough moon
And the rough sailor boy with his unanchored eye
He was the only one there made that solid woman swoon
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
I heard ecstatic lovers screamin' on the roller coaster ride
I saw girls who felt pretty with a boyfriend at their side
I could taste it, I could smell it in the air
It was love and it cast out all fear
And the lonely hearted people who ride on the ferris wheel
Gonna eat a sugar-coated star
And all them lonely hearted people up there
They just got to be loved for exactly who they are
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival, carnival love
It was a carnival love
It was a carnival love
It was a carnival love
It was a carnival love
