[Intro Whispered vocals over carnival organ and distant laughter] Welcome to the Carnival Craze… Once you’re in, there’s no escape… Yeah, let’s get lost tonight [Verse 1 creepy laughing adlibs] We snuck in after dark, ignoring all the calls Shadows dancing wild, where did everybody go? Laughing like we’re free, but something’s starting to show The games are rigged, the clowns don’t blink This magic’s pulling us deeper than we think [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tock, hear the clock reverse Colors bleeding, breaking every curse We’re falling faster, can’t look back Lost in the craze, caught in the trap [Chorus] Carnival Craze, we’re spinning in the night Twisting, turning, hearts on fire Deeper in the maze, taking us higher Carnival Craze, no way out, no way home We’re lost, we’re lost, in Carnival Craze (Craze! Craze! Get lost in the Carnival Craze!) [Verse 2] Haunted tunes play from a broken carousel Rides that never stop, trapped under its spell Fortune teller whispers, “You were meant to stay” The gates disappeared the moment we came to play But I don’t wanna leave, not if you’re here with me This endless night feels like eternity [Pre-Chorus Eire pipe organ and laughing] Tick-tock, time is standing still Every secret ride gives another thrill We’re falling deeper, never coming back [Chorus] Carnival Craze, we’re spinning in the night Lost in the lights, everything feels so right Carnival Craze, no way out, no way home Just you and me forever in the unknown We’re lost, we’re lost, in Carnival Craze (Craze! Craze! Get lost in the Carnival Craze!) [Final Chorus – Explosive, with layered harmonies and ad-libs] Carnival Craze, we’re spinning in the night (spinning forever!) Deeper in the maze, taking us higher Carnival Craze, no way out, no way home (we don’t want it!) Just you and me forever in the unknown We’re lost, we’re lost, and we love the Carnival Craze (Craze! Craze! Lost in the Carnival Craze!) [Outro Echoing laughter and fading carnival music] Welcome to the Carnival… We’re lost… forever… Carnival Craze… (Yeah, we’re never coming back…)
