Lost at the Carnival
[Intro]
Surprise, surprise!
Shucky Ducky quack quack!
The Dark Carnival is back!
All ages welcome!
The carnival is free!
To those who qualify, step right up!
Come on in and have a ball!
[Verse 1: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
You havin fun, walkin' with your mom and pops
At the carnival, you get on the cyclops
As it spins, it whips you up, somethin' terrifying
You're scared to death, two seconds from cryin'
It's finally over, you run back to where your parents were
But they're missin', everything is a blur
You're walkin' through the crowd, no familiar faces
You hear buzzes and bells and laughs from mental cases
Are they in the fun house? You walk into it
And right away, you're thinkin' "why did I do it?"
You're in the tilted room, the maze of mirrors
Scary faces in the black light, drummin' up fears
You're headed up the stairs, and down the slide
Thank God, you're finally back outside
You check the food lines, river world, highs and lows
It's really happenin', you're lost at the carnival!
[Chorus: Young Wicked]
Where to run? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to go? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to turn? (Lost at the Carnival)
You don't know (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the rides (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the games (Lost at the Carnival)
You're alone (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost in a maze (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost at the Carnival, you're lost at the carn-
[Verse 2: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
You get on the ferris wheel, a view from above
Oh, you didn't try the river of love?
You hop in a boat and slowly float through the darkness
Evil cupids swoopin' down on a harness
You wanna cry, but you tryin' to hold it in, man
Is that daddy shooting BB's at the tin cans?
Run up at him, tap him on the shoulders
Some drunk with a beard about 30 years older
"Come on! Don't bother me! I'm tryin' to win, kid!"
You didn't look in the Queen of Sheba's pyramid
Once again, there you are lost in a maze
Starin' at King Tut, in his eyes, you gaze
Suddenly, he blinks and stares right back upon you
Runnin' off, was it real, or was he supposed to do that?
Don't ask Carnies for help, they got levers to pull
It's really happenin', you're lost at the Carnival!
[Chorus: Young Wicked]
Where to run? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to go? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to turn? (Lost at the Carnival)
You don't know (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the rides (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the games (Lost at the Carnival)
You're alone (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost in a maze (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost at the Carnival, you're lost at the carn-
[Verse 3: Violent J & Shaggy 2 Dope]
You hear laughter, you smell the cotton candy cookin'
Goin' through the haunted mansion now, lookin' for your parents
Clown faces poppin' out the dark
You're thinkin' "It's impossible to check the whole park!"
Just when you've had about all you can take
You check the midway games, and that was a mistake
"Hey kid, come over here, it's only a buck!"
"Hey little boy, win a big prize, come try your luck!"
Only one place left, the House of Amusement
It looks friendly, it's gotta be where they went
Inside, you find your father, his eyes glow red
He's on display in the wall of the Hall of Death!
And there's your mother with fangs, chained to a post
You're not even alive, you realize you're a ghost
It's just your personal hell, and now you know
That you're doomed to forever be lost at the Carnival!
[Chorus: Young Wicked]
Where to run? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to go? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to turn? (Lost at the Carnival)
You don't know (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the rides (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the games (Lost at the Carnival)
You're alone (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost in a maze (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to run? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to go? (Lost at the Carnival)
Where to turn? (Lost at the Carnival)
You don't know (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the rides (Lost at the Carnival)
Check the games (Lost at the Carnival)
You're alone (Lost at the Carnival)
Lost in a maze (Lost at the Carnival)
