I think she ran away, she must have ran away
With the carnival, today
She loved the chimpanzees, she always loved flying trapeze
She loved the carnival more than she loved me
How can I hold her like the strongest man alive
How can I get her high, she rides the Ferris wheel all night
I start to cry, and the moonlight in my tears looks like the midway lights
I think she's with the carnival tonight
I think she ran away, she must have ran away
When the circus was in town, today
I thought we got along, I thought nothing was wrong
She was the happiest I'd seen her in days
I can't sleep when you're with a three legged man
We had a lovely house, now it's the big top tent, give me a chance
I can love you more than those elephants
But she loves the clowns that make the horses dance
You're with the carnival I guess
You're with the carnival I guess
You're with the carnival I guess
You're with the carnival I guess
I think she ran away, she must have ran away
With the carnival, today
I thought I smelled her cotton candy breath in those balloons
I can see her face but it's all covered in tattoos
How can I hold her like the strongest man alive
How can I get her high, she rides the Ferris wheel all night
I start to cry, and the moonlight in my tears looks like the midway lights
I think she's with the carnival tonight
She must be with the carnival tonight
I think she's with the carnival
