The carnival leaves
town...
The carnival always
leaves town...
It goes away, far, and
far.
When the carnival leaves
town, the children...
Die.
The carnival leaves town,
No laughter.
The Ferris wheel is
rocking back and forth.
The corpses fall from the
seats,
Egad, the children
stuffed on candy apples,
They've grown fat and
sluggish.
The town stops for the
carnival.
The lights all dim
because everyone's gone...
Gone to the carnival.
Night after night.
The faces blur together,
and the clowns laugh themselves to sleep.
Walk down the boardwalk
With the nice music and
the nice people and the nice treats and the nice rides.
No one wants the carnival
to leave town.
Cotton in my mouth.
I cannot scream.
When the carnival leaves
town.
