Smile, You’ll Float Too (Carnival of 1985 Mix)

[Verse 1] Step into town, the sky turns grey There’s something weird on this rainy day A paper boat, a skipping beat A little boy, a sewer street A red balloon, a creepy grin A voice that whispers deep within “Come down and play, I’ve got a treat!” (Just don’t look down at your own feet…) [Pre-Chorus] He hides where no one dares to go With circus lights and undertow [Chorus – Catchy version] He’s in the dark, he’s in your dreams He’s hiding right behind your screams He’s got a laugh you can’t undo And guess what? He’s coming for you! Don’t blink, don’t breathe, just say “boo!” And smile… you’ll float too [Verse 2] The losers swore to stand as one Back when the nightmare first begun Now grown-up hearts begin to pound ’Cause something wicked’s back in town He’s not a ghost, he’s not a man He’s every monster since time began He feeds on fear, he loves your fright So tuck you in and kill the light [Pre-Chorus] He waits where childhood dreams decay With twisted games that make you stay [Chorus – Catchy version] He’s in the dark, he’s in your dreams He’s hiding right behind your screams He’s got a laugh you can’t undo And guess what? He’s coming for you! Don’t blink, don’t breathe, just say “boo!” And smile… you’ll float too [Bridge – Spoken, showman voice à la Pennywise] “Roll up, roll up, for the fear of your life! No refunds, no mercy, and no goodbyes… We’ve got balloons, tricks, and tasty screams— And every show ends with shattered dreams!” [Final Chorus – Bigger, brighter, still catchy] He’s in the dark, he’s in your dreams He’s hiding right behind your screams He’s got a laugh you can’t undo And guess what? He’s coming for you! Don’t blink, don’t breathe, just say “boo!” And smile… you’ll float too (Yeah smile… you’ll float too!)
