Neon lights on the dusty ground A kaleidoscope of sight and sound You tripped over a cable line And laughed until your eyes could shine. Clumsy grace in a summer dress A beautiful, chaotic mess Popcorn air and the velvet heat I felt my world skip a heavy beat. Oh, I’m caught in the orbit of your laugh The better side of my other half! From the Ferris wheel to the shooting stars The world is ours, just as we are! The roller coaster screams above In the frantic rush of a sudden love We’re sharing sugar, sharing dreams Moving through the crowd like silver streams. One more game for a giant prize Reflected in your starlit eyes The city’s humming a distant tune Under the curve of a paper moon. Oh, spinning around in the carnival glow Nowhere to be and nowhere to go! Every moment lived and the ones to be You’re the frequency inside of me! The night is closing, the rides go dark But you left a fire, you left a spark A promise made by the midway stand Holding tightly to your gentle hand. Slow motion in the heavy air The scent of jasmine in your hair One last look before the gates all seal [Build-up] Tell me, baby, is this real? Oh, I’m caught in the orbit of your laugh The better side of my other half! From the Ferris wheel to the shooting stars The world is ours, just as we are! Just you and me... In the carnival glow...
