Carnival Noose

(hahaha) Watch the shadows crawl up on the nursery wall

No escape when the painted plaster starts to fall (shhh) Step light,

don't breathe, let the nightmare breathe

Ring around the empty playground,

don't you make a sound (shhh) When the carnival is burning,

we all tumble down

Carousels spinning backwards in the dead of night

Wooden horses screaming in the pale moonlight (hahaha) Behind the curtain where

the faceless puppets play

They're gonna keep you here until the light of day

Ring around the empty playground,

don't you make a sound (shhh) When the carnival is burning,

we all tumble down (hahaha) (hahaha)
