"Oh god, oh god
Dumping so early in the evening
I really didn't mean that
I really didn't mean that".

Above the ground
I'm lifted to the sky
And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded high and dry
A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime
But if you wanna see the fireworks
You might have to pay a lifetime.

'Cause love is a carnival
With lots of laughs, wonderful rides and danger
But it feels so good
With rockets shootin' in your head
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Bang, you're dead, baby (2x).

Like a boomerang keeps twisting, twisting in your heart
You know the funny part of it is, you always end up where you start.
You're headed for big clouds
Got the silver lining
But you're in for a big surprise
There's a river of tears behind it.

'Cause love is a carnival
With lots of baubles, bangles and beads
Beware, beware, beware
It feels so good, feels so good
With rockets shootin' in your head
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Bang, you're dead, baby
Bang, you`re dead, baby.

Above the ground I'm lifted
Spininng, spinning, spinning out of control
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!
Above the ground I'm lifted, yeah, to the sky
And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded high and dry
A circus ride, you know it, it only costs a dime
But if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay
Hey, yeah, yeah, to the sky, high
And down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded, stranded
Bang, you're dead.
