Insane Clown Posse - Lost at the Carnival lyrics

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

You havin fun, walkin witcha mom and pops
At the carnival, you get on the cyclops
As it spins, it whips you up
Something 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 missing, everything's a blur
You walk into the crowd
Nothin makes cute 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 thinking
"why did I do it?"
You're in the tilted room
The maze of mirrors


Scary faces in the black light
Drumming up fears
You 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

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-

You get on the ferris wheel
A view from above
Oh, you didn't try the river of love?
You hop in a boat slowly
Floating through the darkness
Evil cupids swooping down on a harness
You wanna cry, but you try to hold it in, man
Is that daddy shooting BB's at the tin cans?
Run up to him, tap him on the shoulders
Some drunk
Would've been about 30 years older
"Come on! Don't bother me! i'm tryna win
Kid!"
You didn't look in Queen Lasheva's pyramid
Once again, there you are lost in a maze
Staring at King Tut, in his eyes you gaze
Suddenly he blinks and stares
Right back upon you
Running off, was it real
Or was it 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

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-

You hear laughter
You smell the cotton candy cookin'
Goin' through the haunted mansion
Now looking for your parents
Clown faces popin' out the dark
You're thinking "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 yer 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!
There's your mother with fangs
Chained to a post you're not even alive
You realize you're a ghost
This is your personal hell, and now you know
That you're doomed to forever be
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)
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)
