The bearded lady winked at the tattooed man And the tattooed man took her by the hand Together they walked into their house of mirrors And that starts a whole bunch of sideshow rumors They were a little bit afraid of looking at each other 'cause Everybody said you look weird together When the lights go up and the sun goes down They're the perfect couple underneath these pink cotton candy clouds It was a carnival carnival love It was a carnival carnival love It was a carnival carnival love The sword swallower swallowed his pride And he fell at the knees of his contortionist bride He said you bent over backwards honey to give me your love And it's made me believe in a god above Chorus And the fat lady looked so beautiful Under the fried dough moon And the rough sailor boy with his unanchored eye He was the only one there made that solid woman swoon Chorus I heard ecstatic lovers screamin' on the roller coaster ride I saw girls who felt pretty with a boyfriend at their side I could taste it I could smell it in the air It was love and it cast out all fear And the lonely hearted people who ride on the ferris wheel Gonna eat a sugar-coated star And all those lonely hearted people up there They just got to be loved for exactly who they are Chorus
