  • You come around to the autumn carnival
    It's glowing like a jack-o-lantern on the hill
    You should be younger now than you were then
    Trading silver for thrill
    You come around to the autumn carnival
    There is a fog in the hall of mirrors
    The ghost of a tree line has jumped the track
    Like a carousel which is turning back
    Create all the things that you lack
    You can go there if you need
    And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
    Ferris wheel unshadows and shatters
    Across the ground into the eyes of the innocent
    The carnie spits at the wax moon
    And all that hell that was gone too soon
    And you can go there if you need
    And it can surely fix you, guaranteed
    Here comes the rain so you move inside
    There is no compass, there is no guide
    And is no mask behind which to hide
    You come around to the autumn carnival
    You come around to the autumn carnival
    And you can take it if you need
    'Cause it will fix, guaranteed
    You come around to the autumn carnival Writer/s: Courtney Taylor, David Haskins
