[Verse]
Lights are dim the air is still
Shadows dance they've got that thrill
Midnight creeps with twisted sound
Underneath the big top's crown
[Verse 2]
Mirrors cracked and laughter loud
Dressed in black she owns the crowd
Whispers echo through the haze
Lost in her mysterious gaze
[Chorus]
Dark carnival come take your ride
Beneath the tent where phantoms hide
She'll pull you in no way to flee
A haunting night for you and me
[Verse 3]
Spotlight's stare it knows your name
Cirque du soir is not a game
Drums are pounding keep your pace
Masked performers hide their face
[Verse 4]
She's the queen of twisted dreams
Nothing's ever what it seems
Hear the call it lures you near
In her realm you disappear
[Chorus]
Dark carnival come take your ride
Beneath the tent where phantoms hide
She'll pull you in no way to flee
A haunting night for you and me
