[Verse 1]
Here we go again, around and around
Oh it's a merry ride, 'til we're back on the ground
You dizzy up the child 'til the tickets are gone
And it's time for the carnival to be moving on

[Chorus]
It carries you up, oh, it makes you feel alive
It makes you laugh it makes you cry
We fold the tents we take the carousel apart
We roll away, we roll away
The sooner you can learn it never lasts
The more you'll enjoy the carnival

[Verse 2]
Don't hold you're breath, don't close your eyes
Let go of the handlebars so your fingers can fly
Seize the night and the autumn wind
'Til we close the house of fun and leave town again

[Chorus]
Don't be afraid to be so easily amused
It's a thrill we all could use
And just like love
It wears a candy apple coat that melts away
We melt away
And the sooner you can learn it never lasts
The more you'll enjoy the carnival

[Bridge]
That's it for the Kalidopee
Keep lookout for the clowns
Your the first in line the last to leave
When we come back around

[Chorus]
It carries you up, oh, it makes you feel alive
It makes you laugh it makes you cry
And just like love
It wears a candy apple coat that melts away
We melt away
And it's over just like a twinkle in the eye
So enjoy the carnival, enjoy the carnival
