carnival boy
where are you going boy?
off to find your life
travel throughout the world
you've got dreamer's sight
turn away tonight
burn the other walls
actions wait in state
you won't have to bother
where's your beginning boy?
gone to find your end
travel throughout the world
til you find love
turn away tonight
burn the other walls
actions wait in state
you won't have to bother
where are you going boy?
lost to find your ways
travel throughout the world
you've got dreamer's sight
turn away tonight
burn the other walls
actions wait in state
you won't have to bother
you won't have to bother
