Life Is A Carnival

You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away--its the restless age
Look away, look away--you can turn the page

Hey, buddy
Would you like to buy a watch
Real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm
and two more round my feet

Life is a carnival
Believe it or not
Life is a carnival
Two bits a shot

Saw a man with the jinx
in the third degree
From trying to deal with people
People you can't see

Take away, take away,
This house of mirrors
Give away, give away,
All the souvenirs

Were all in the same boat
Ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow
from the peddler to the corner girl

Life is a carnival
Believe it or not
Life is a carnival
Two bits a shot

Hey, buddy
Would you like to buy a watch
Real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm
and two more round my feet

Life is a carnival
Believe it or not
Life is a carnival
Two bits a shot
