I think she ran away, she must have ran away With the carnival, today She loved the chimpanzees, she always loved flying trapeze She loved the carnival more then she loved me I can not hold her like the strongest man alive I can not get her high, she rides the ferris wheel all night I start to cry and the moonlight in my tears looks like the midway lights I think she's with the carnival tonight I think she ran away she must have ran away When the circus was in town, today I thought we got along, I thought nothing was wrong She was the happiest I've seen her in days I cant sleep when I dream of 3 legged man We had a lovely house, now it's the big top tent, give me a chance I can love you more than those elephants But she wants the clowns that make the horses dance Your with the carnival I guess Your with the carnival I guess Your with the carnival I guess Your with the carnival I guess I think she ran away, she must have ran away With the carnival, today I thought I smelled her cotton-candy breathe in those balloons I can't see her face now, it's all covered with tattoos Can not hold her like the strongest man alive I can not get her high, she rides the ferris wheel all night I start to cry and the moonlight in my tears looks like the midway lights I think she's with the carnival tonight She must be with the carnival tonight I think she's with the carnival tonight
