[Verse 1] hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah Yohey aye aye hey yeah You dance for the crooked prize Like it's dripping in gold You grin while the tent turns cold But the floor cracks and creaks The striped walls have eyes And the neon listens to your noise You chase down a painted promise You twisted out of somebody else's nightmare [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you gain When the crowd goes still Tell me what you keep When you feed that thrill [Chorus] What's the prize? When you rig the Ferris rise What's the prize? Cotton candy emptiness What's the prize? When you watch them fall What do you feel When you lose it all hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah Yohey aye aye hey yeah [Verse 2] Every step you take through the midway clowns Gets a little more shameful with each crooked rise That's when you start to despise your choices You play your life your soul like it's cheap ticket Like the wheel won't spin back to get you But the dark keeps counting your tracks Every laugh you extort Every face you erase every soul left in the dark Leaves a bruise in your heart and a hollow ring [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you gain When the crowd goes still Tell me what you keep When you feed that thrill [Chorus] What's the prize? When you rig the Ferris rise What's the prize? Cotton candy emptiness What's the prize? When you watch them fall What do you feel When you lose it all hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah Yohey aye aye hey yeah [Bridge] What happens when you get there and you see they lied No crown no promise Only sharp teeth waiting for your demise Waiting to drag you down like the ones you buried It's a twisted old lie painted in color under the cover under the cover under the cover [Final Chorus] What's the prize? When you rig the Ferris rise What's the prize? Cotton candy emptiness What's the prize? When you watch them fall What do you feel When you lose it all hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah hey aye aye hey yeah Yohey aye aye hey yeah
