I've got it bad

What do I do with this ache that I have? 

Just let it be...

Or should I use all the tricks up my sleeve?



This ain't a game

This ain't a game I want to play

All the pieces are frayed

And there are rules

Oh, these are rules I can't obey



It seems so unfair

They bite and they scratch when they're not even there

The giddyup days

Go down with the sun as the calliope plays



So take a spin

Come take a spin and start the show

Climb the ropes and let go

You're worried now

Don't worry now, no one'll know



[Chorus:]

Would you think very badly of me

If I took the first route that's easy?

Would you help me to free

All the baggage you see

Could you conquer this carnival?



It's started to sting

All of these words that I feel when I sing

Take it away

I can't bear to see how you suffer this way



So many things

Too many things you can't deny

Such good reasons to try

I want to hear

I need to hear you say the lines



[Chorus]



Would you battle the Pisces in me?



This ain't a game

This ain't a game I want to play

All the moves have been feigned

And there are rules

Too many rules no one obeys



Would you think very badly of me

-Don't think badly of me-

If I took the first route that's easy

-I'll find a way out-

Would you help me to free

All the baggage you see

Could you conquer this carnival

-Could you conquer me-

Would you battle the Pisces...
