Carnival Tales
No more goats, no more snails No more pogo for the monkey's tail The carnival's closed, the fun's all failed The shadows creep, the darkness prevails In the dead of night, the monkeys scream Their tails are still, their pogo's a dream The goats are gone, the snails are too The laughter's silenced, the terror's true No more goats, no more snails No more pogo for the monkey's tail The music's stopped, the lights are low The darkness reigns, the terror grows The midway's dark, the games are still The Ferris wheel's motionless chill The cotton candy's melted away The screams of joy are now dismay No more goats, no more snails No more pogo for the monkey's tail The music's stopped, the lights are low The darkness reigns, the terror grows In the shadows, the monkeys hide Their eyes glow bright, with a malevolent pride The goats and snails, they've taken flight But the terror remains, in the dark of night No more goats, no more snails No more pogo for the monkey's tail The carnival's curse, it will remain Forever trapped, in this dark, insane ...And the madness echoes, through the empty space A haunting whisper, a twisted face The monkeys' laughter, a chilling scream Echoes forever, in the darkest dream..
