Haunted Neon Carnival

The gates light up in ultraviolet rain

Ferris wheel grins like a ghost in Cain

I hear the barkers calling my name

Past the ticket booth, I step into the flame

Every mirror bends, every shadow lies

Cotton candy sparks in electric skies

The music hits like a sleepless tide

And the midnight ride won't let me slide

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Where every ride keeps spinning after midnight

Laugh with the lights, let the silence fall

We're dancing with the dead under neon bright

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Hear the sirens sing, feel the whole place shake

Hold on tight when the lost souls come

'Cause every heart here comes awake

Coffin car circle on a rust-wrecked track

A painted clown with a cracked-back laugh

The bumper cars crash in a holy blur

And the funhouse breathes with a fevered purr

Every building's out through the smoke and the steam

Every broken promise turns to a dream

I don't want out, I just want more

With your hand in mine, bite the whole check door

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Where every rock keeps spinning after midnight

Let's flip the lights, let the silence fall

We're dancing with the dead under neon bright

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Hear the sirens sing, still the whole place shakes

Hold on tight when the lost souls come

'Cause every heart here comes awake

Airy voices rise through the staircase

We're the last alive in the laser maze

If the ghosts want us on, let them take the lead

We'll shout to the dark like we've got no need

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Where every wire keeps spinning after midnight

Laugh at the lights, let the silence fall

We're dancing with the dead under neon bright

Welcome to the midnight carnival

Let go, let go through the cracked moonlight

Hold on tight when the lost souls call

We were born for the thrill tonight
