Carnival Man

[Verse 1]
See that figure over there?
He comes and goes without a care
Where he comes from, nobody knows
But they say he’ll take your fingers and toes

[Chorus]
He's the carnival man
He's the carnival man

[Verse 2]
To and fro, watch him go
The smiling face, the friendly glow
See the woman walking by?
Soon she'll be gone and they'll wonder why

[Chorus]
He's the carnival man
He;s the carnival man

[Verse 3]
Stories told from times of old
He wore a yellow marigold
From the shadows, in disguise
His daggеr sharp to cut out your eyes

[Chorus]
He's thе carnival man
He's the carnival man

[Verse 4]
The blood still warm upon the blade
Alas, his captive has been slayed
The hacksaw rips and chews the bone
Then slips away like nobody'd known

[Chorus]
He's the carnival man
He's the carnival man
That's the carnival man

[Verse 5]
So when the carnival comes to town
Look closely for the happy clown
For should you end up in his gaze
You could lose your head in so many ways

[Chorus]
He's the carnival man
He's the carnival man
That's the carnival man

[Outro]
He's the carnival man
That's the carnival man
He's the carnival man
That's the carnival man
He's the carnival man
