The Night the Carnival Came to Town

**verse** Shadows stretch, a twilight chill, Cotton candy clouds stand still. Laughter echoes (hollow sound) **verse** Carousel spins, a tempting call, Forever young, ignore the fall. Children's eyes, with longing gleam, A whispered promise (a wicked dream) **chorus** Something wicked, this way comes, Calliope plays, a mournful hum. The dust it dances, secrets keep, Innocence lost (while shadows creep) **verse** Mirrored maze, reflections twist, Forever young, a haunting mist. The laughter fades (a sudden fright) **verse** Courage sought, with trembling hand, Breaking free, from this cursed land. Childhood dreams, forever changed, The calliope's cry (forever deranged) **chorus** Something wicked, this way comes, Calliope plays, a fading sigh. The dust settles, a lonely hush, Only echoes whisper (of a broken crush) **verse** Shadows stretch, a twilight chill, Cotton candy clouds stand still. Laughter echoes (hollow sound) **verse** Carousel spins, a tempting call, Forever young, ignore the fall.
