Fuchsia skies
Where the gradient's always right
Feels like this place was built
To eulogise neon lights
I poured my mind out to you all
(Painted on the wall, at the carnival)
Headlights on cars without a road
(We were so alone, at the carnival)
Store fronts drew you into the mirror hall
And your eyes lit up like a disco ball
I heard you laughing, this feels like I'm on a roll
Saw your reflection, it hurt to feel so vulnerable
I poured my mind out to you all
(Painted on the wall, at the carnival)
Headlights on cars without a road
(We were so alone, at the carnival)
With the lights out it's a scary house to fold
(The nights were cold, the nights were cold)
Singing run to you, put our stereo in the road
(It's all we know, we call it home)
Only the veins in my fingertips
Covered your face while I hallucinate
This is not my funeral
This is The Night Carnival
I couldn't care where you're taking me
I see your skin glowing with UV
Dance like this at my funeral
This is The Night Carnival
I poured my mind out to you all
(Painted on the wall, at the carnival)
Headlights on cars without a road
(We were so alone, at the carnival)
With the lights out it's a scary house to fold
(The nights were cold, the nights were cold)
Singing run to you, put our stereo in the road
(It's all we know, we call it home)
