Life Is A Carnival

The Band

You can walk on the water, drown in the sand

You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can

Run away, run away--it's the restless age

Look away, look away--you can turn the page

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap

Here on the street

I got six on each arm and two more round my feet

Life is a carnival--believe it or not

Life is a carnival--two bits a shot



Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree

From trying to deal with people--people you can't see

Take away, take away, this house of mirrors

Give away, give away, all the souvenirs

We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world

The flat old world

The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl

Life is a carnival--it's in the book

Life is a carnival--take another look



Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap

Here on the street

I got six on each arm and two more round my feet

Life is a carnival--believe it or not

Life is a carnival--two bits a shot
