Hugh Graeme - Carnival Lyrics

Baby won't you look my way
Distant though you are
You always seem to leave me this way
In your sad and thoughtless mind
You left me here feeling blind
And you didn't even say
No you didn't even say
How was I to know?
Where was I to go?
When you led me astray
When you took my souls away Hay ay ay yeah!

I sat on the big wheel
And watched my life go round
Spinning on a top
On uneven ground
Hoping for a better way
To win you in the shooting gallery
I held my gun and I took aim
But the prize I get
It's always the same
It's like a hole in my pocket
It's grinning at me
Save me some cash
And I'll walk that lonely street
Yes I'll walk that lonely street
Lonely street

And you said life was just a carnival
And you said life was just a show
And you said life was just an accident
So baby watch this accident explode

But I guess now I've made up my mind
I was sick and tired of holding the line
My fortune teller she told me
I was barking up the wrong street
I was lost in a hazy dream
Clinging to a reed in a swelling stream
In the ghost train you haunted me
In the ghost train you flaunted with me
But now I made my escape
Out of the carnival away from all that pain
Now my destiny she beckons me
Into a world where I am now free

And you said life was just a carnival
And you said life was just a show
So show me
And you said life was just an accident
So baby watch this accident explode
