[Intro — deep, amused male whisper] Well, well, well… Look what wandered into my circus. Lost, sweetheart? Don’t look so nervous. I haven’t even started playing yet. [Verse 1] Red velvet curtains, lights turned low, A painted smile in a midnight show. Black little secrets behind my grin, Step through the door, let the fun begin. You hear my laughter down the hall, See my shadow stretching up the wall. You say I’m trouble, darling, please, I haven’t even brought you to your knees. [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, the carousel spins, Every little nightmare wears a grin. Don’t be shy, I like your stare, Come a little closer, if you dare. [Chorus] Float to me, f-f-float to me, Come and see what wicked dreams can be. Pretty little nightmare, take my hand, I’ll show you wonders you won’t understand. Float to me, don’t be afraid, I’ve got a thousand little games to play. S-s-smile, darling, just for me, You’re looking lovely in my fantasy. [Post-Chorus — distorted male laughter] F-f-float… Come closer. F-f-float… That’s better. Good girl. [Verse 2] You like the danger, I can tell, You’re smiling underneath my spell. I tilt my head, you raise your brow, Oh, you’re a brave little thing somehow. One step forward, two steps back, You’re keeping me amused with that. I tip my hat, you roll your eyes, A little attitude? What a surprise. [Pre-Chorus] Round and round, the carousel spins, Every little nightmare wears a grin. No need to run, the door’s right there, But you’re still standing on my stair. [Chorus] Float to me, f-f-float to me, Come and see what wicked dreams can be. Pretty little nightmare, take my hand, I’ll show you wonders you won’t understand. Float to me, don’t be afraid, I’ve got a thousand little games to play. S-s-smile, darling, just for me, You’re looking lovely in my fantasy. [Bridge — music stops, deep intimate voice] What’s that? You think I’m frightening? Oh, sweetheart… You should see me when I’m trying. … Now, tell me something. Are you staying? … That’s what I thought. [Glitch Breakdown — distorted carnival laughter] Round and round! Up and down! Who’s the wickedest clown in town? F-f-float! Don’t look down! Welcome to my playground! [Final Chorus — enormous bass drop] Float to me, f-f-float to me, Come and taste a little insanity. Pretty little nightmare, take my hand, Tonight the circus is at your command. Float to me, come and play, Let your sweetest little fears melt away. S-s-smile, darling, just for me, I think you’ll rather like my company. [Outro — deep playful whisper] There you are. See? That wasn’t so frightening. … Oh, don’t look so disappointed. The night’s still young. And I’ve got plenty more tricks.
