Carnival of Souls

We stand in lines with willing mids admission's price to pay

For the carnival of souls has come into our town to play

Here there is something for everyone- the rides, the stars, the shows

You can watch or participate for on and on it goes!

Here men balance on the high wire- and there clowns entertain

And everywhere you can buy a chance to play some game

So willingly you take your chance to win, perhaps to lose

Then take another thrilling ride on any ride you choose

Here we see distorted selves in funhouse mirrors bent

So laugh at what you seem to be or laugh at someone else's expense

You believe what you are seeing you become what you pretend

Don't give away the secret or the carnival will end!

You may demand more drama and applaud when it is done

For at the carnival what you watch is what you become

You may wish to make it different but the show goes on and on

Until you leave or 'til you die the mystery's never gone!

So thrill now to the fine effects- the false reality

Some choose to find a meaning now wihing the fantasy

But don't dare lose your balance or giove over the controls

Or you may play forever in the carnival of Souls!

We stand in lines with willing mids admission's price to pay

For the carnival of souls has come into our town to play

Here there is something for everyone- the rides, the stars, the shows

You can watch or participate for on and on it goes!

At center stage some famousfascination now performs

To some the view may seem strange but here it is the norm

The masters of the carnival have put on quite a show

In exchange for fun at your expense let them win before you go

To view oddities and daring feats to be part of the crowd

Spellbound now and swept away by the fanfare playing loud

Though stages and performers change the acdrobats and guessing games

The show grows old for the carnival remains the same!
