You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away
it's the restless age
Look away, look away
you can turn the page
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival
believe it or not
Life is a carnival
two bits a shot
Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people
people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
We're all in the same boat
ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow
from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival
it's in the book
Life is a carnival
take another look
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival
believe it or not
Life is a carnival
 two bits a shot
