CARNIES
Ferris Wheels and Cotton Candy
Folks try to stall as the kids get antsy
They sit there complaining there’s nothing else to do
So we pick up our coats and go down to the fair
Who knows what we’ll find when we get there?
Eyes will be streaming, faces split in two
Carnies have come to town
If they stay will you hang around?
Lately where have you gone?
I’ve been waiting for so long
When will you come back?
Say what you want life’s too good to be true
Jump-start me after I’m thru the sun-roof
Soon I’ll be home but I don’t know if you will too

VALENTINE
It's oh so late to start wishing
This heart of mine, you're gonna own
They fade away and now you're here
I didn't know
It's only you....
Valentine....
Go out in the light
Why suffer back in the game
All living, all our sin the same
All the faithful heal, they're all praying
They refer to
Valentine....
Oh, return
They release you then you turn to see
Make it feel alright
The only thing is that I didn't
I tried to climb but fell on home
I feel around and still your here
Your coming home But before you do...
Valentine
Go out in the light
Out in the moonlit sky
I saw you….

POISON
Just the memory of you
It feels like poison
Still the memory of you
It feels like poison
It kills like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
I can only love you
It feels like poison
If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be
Make a wish and blow it out
Love will begin again
I don't want to be a clown
The whole town is laughing
Behind my back, you're supposed to be a friend
If not for you
No love in front of me
Nobody told you
It's not how it's supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It’s not how it’s supposed to be
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
Why you do the things you do?
It feels like poison
