Horror Clown - Broken Carousel

Tick-tick, the little box lies Crackle hiss and bent-up cries Spin that grin in a paper sky I hear it laugh when the needle bites Step right up, I got teeth for coins Palm full of nails and a mouth of toys Creepy old clown in a ripped-up coat Says your name like a funeral note Red paint drips on the sticky floor Little feet run, then come back for more Scratch, scratch, slip through the static veil Every wink in this place turns pale Glitch in the lights when the fog rolls low Dirt on my knuckles, a dead-end glow I keep my cool, but the sides all twitch Like a jack-in-the-box in a locked-up ditch Hear that organ moan Feel the crowd get mean One more turn, one more smile Then we break the screen Run, run, broken carousel Turn, turn, straight to hell Scream it loud, scream it well Broken carousel Run, run, broken carousel Crowd goes wild, ring the bell Burning grin, blackened spell Broken carousel I came with a grin and a pocket of glass Now the whole damn tent got a funeral pass Bone-white face in the mirror maze Lost my shadow in the animal haze DJ scratching like a blade on tin Every little laugh got a hole in it Grit in the throat, let the monster bark Demon words in the dark, dark, dark Clap for the freaks, let the floorboards shake Chain-link heart and a poison ache I don’t run, I reload that rage Kick the cage, then I kick the cage Hear that organ moan Feel the crowd get mean One more turn, one more smile Then we break the screen Run, run, broken carousel Turn, turn, straight to hell Scream it loud, scream it well Broken carousel Run, run, broken carousel Crowd goes wild, ring the bell Burning grin, blackened spell Broken carousel Whispers crawl through the tent flap seams Hands in the smoke and a face in the steam One, two, three, now the whole room snaps White noise rising like a house full of traps Hey! Hey! Let it all come apart Bang that drum on a rotten heart Run, run, broken carousel Turn, turn, straight to hell Scream it loud, scream it well Broken carousel Run, run, broken carousel Crowd goes wild, ring the bell Burning grin, blackened spell Broken carousel Tick-tick, the little box dies Crackle fades and the laughter fries Spin that grin till the shadows swell Broken carousel
