[Intro] Tickets please One way ride Step right up To the cracks in your mind [Verse 1] Striped tents tilt Paint chips from the teeth of the ride Cotton candy Stuck like cobwebs to your spine Hall of mirrors Every face is wearing mine Ring the bell Win a piece of my time [Chorus] We are the chaos core Laughing in the padded halls Patients running every door Hear our names in the rattling walls We are the chaos core Spinning where the sane ones fall Round and round forever more Welcome to the carnival [Verse 2] Nurses dance Balancing on IV poles Doctors dealing Tarot cards and bullet holes Ferris wheel Built from rusted gurney rails Hear that call? It’s the siren of your nails [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Shh Line up For the needle and the prize One small poke And we rearrange your skies [low vocal register] Straightjackets Tailored just to fit your grin Spin the key Let the circus crawl within [Chorus]
