[Intro – warped carnival organ, slowly bending out of tune] Step right up Come inside Leave the ordinary world behind One way in No clear way out Tell me what you’re smiling about [Heavy bass riff enters] Walls made of mirrors Mirrors made of lies A hundred different versions Staring through my eyes Every move creates another Every turn divides me more I swear I passed this crooked face Three hallways before [Pre-Chorus] The ceiling’s getting lower The hallway’s getting thin Something in the reflection Keeps telling me to grin [Chorus] Welcome to the fun house Where it ain’t so fun Every door becomes a wall Every hallway makes me run Welcome to the fun house Where the laughter comes undone A thousand faces look like mine But I don’t recognize one [Crooked guitar riff] Left becomes right Right disappears My reflection keeps moving But I’m standing right here I reach out for the glass Another hand reaches back It copies every movement Then suddenly—it cracks [Pre-Chorus] My chest is getting tighter There’s nowhere left to breathe Every version of myself Is closing in on me [Chorus] Welcome to the fun house Where it ain’t so fun Every door becomes a wall Every hallway makes me run Welcome to the fun house Where the laughter comes undone A thousand faces look like mine But I don’t recognize one [Breakdown – bass, distorted carnival organ and breathing] Don’t panic Don’t panic Don’t— Which one is real? Which one is me? Which one knows the way outside? They’re smiling I’m shaking They’re laughing I’m breaking [Bridge – instruments become increasingly disoriented] Every movement makes another view Every mirror tells a different truth I close my eyes—but there I am Still trapped behind the glass [Final Chorus] Welcome to the fun house Where it ain’t so fun I came inside as only me Now I’m leaving as no one Welcome to the fun house Turn the lights out when you’re done If you find the doorway out— Don’t tell them where I’ve gone [Outro – carnival organ slows and warps] Step right up Come inside The fun house knows You cannot hide [Whispered] Where it ain’t so fun. [Mirror shatters—instant silence]
