Carnival Games
If you spend enough cash at the carnival games You'll have a prize in your hand when you walk away Let it slip through your fingers and you'll never know What winning's really like, oh I stayed there too long, now it's in my soul And when the thunder rolls, I got nowhere to go I keep going round on this carousel Because it spins me so well And I'll stay with you just a little while There's so much for us to see and do But don't mistake this for an adventure in paradise Just because the rides look so good Carnival games are so much fun to play, hard to just walk away from And all you want, a pretty thing but the price you pay is Always too much, you'll never dry up these tears Crying from all the years playing carnival games Didn't know which way to look, all the shining lights And your name on the postcard of your life And everyone will say that you came to conquer Yeah, you won the whole race But don't mistake this for an adventure in paradise Just because the rides look so good Songtexte Carnival games are so much fun to play, hard to just walk away from And all you want, a pretty thing but the price you pay is Always too much, you'll never dry up these tears Crying from all the years playing carnival games Carnival games I wanna shed all of my skin, feel my blood as it takes the wind I don't know where to begin Carnival games are so much fun to play, hard to just walk away from And all you want are pretty, pretty things You can't walk away once you play the game You can't get back what you paid from all the years Of playing carnival games, carnival games You'll never really know what You'll never really know what winning's like You'll never really know what You'll never really know what winning's like You'll never really know what You'll never really know what winning's like You'll never really know what You'll never really know what winning's like Aus Songtexte Mania
