Carnival

Life's a carnival
Time's ferris wheel
Luck's a tatooed lady
Fate's a fortune teller
And I'm a clown
Who'll stand upside down
If you ask

I'm gonna join the circus
I've got to pack my things
Gonna join the gypsy caravan
And learn, learn, learn to sing

Life's a carnival
A touring circus company
Traveling on that endless road
Drawn by six white ponies
And I'm along
You're along
And we're all
Clowns
We'll stand upside down
If they ask

I'm gonna join the circus
And leave the past behind
Gonna join the gypsy caravan
That's rolling, rolling
Beneath the diamond sky
