[ Featuring Stayce Roberts ]
Just step right up and try your luck
In the greatest show on earth
You can have anything you'd ever want
But you've got to punch your ticket first
Now you can try your luck on the high wire
Or follow footsteps from the past
But of the greatest souls that you have ever known
Well every one of them have crashed
Catch a Thrill
Catch a Ride
Like the ones who've died
Will they even know your name
You can bet it all on eternity
But the payoff's still the same
Step inside the Carnival
The Carnival of Sins
Where you can be anything you like
Just as long as you give in
Ala-ga-zam and you're center stage
As the spotlight closes in
You made it all the way to the Big Top
In the Carnival - The Carnival of Sins
Now the house of mirrors only show
What the devil wants you to see
And the bearded lady is only there
Just to hide the hypocrisy
You know the Freak show's on full display
And the Strongman steals the show
The taste and the smell of a darkened world
Tells you all you need to know
Catch a Thrill
Catch a Ride
Like the ones who've died
Will they even know your name
You can bet it all on eternity
But the payoff's still the same
Step inside of the Carnival
The Carnival of Sins
Where you can be anything you like
Just as long as you give in
Ala-ga-zam and you're center stage
As the spotlight closes in
You made it all the way to the Big Top
In the Carnival - The Carnival of Sins
(The illusion is real
Everything that you feel is a lie)
You can have what you need
But you know they'll just watch you bleed
(It's all part of the show
Just as long as you know you're alive)
Catch a Thrill
Catch a Ride
Like the ones who've died
Will they even know your name
You can bet it all on eternity
But the payoff's still the same
Step inside of the Carnival
The Carnival of Sins
Where you can be anything you like
Just as long as you give in
Ala-ga-zam and you're center stage
As the spotlight closes in
You made it all the way to the Big Top
In the Carnival - The Carnival of Sins
Don't waste another minute
Looking for something in it
Because it catches your eye
Sideshows and magic
Provided by fanatics
And offered up as a lie
