Lost at the Carnival

Lyrics

[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)
