(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)

They're putting up the posters
|
The carnival's in town
|
Performing seals and dancing dogs
|
And gaily painted clowns
|
So ladies take your places
|
And wear your finest clothes
|
Put on your silk and laces
|
Your buttons and your bows
|
Spin the wheel of fortune
|
And lay your money down
|
Let fate be your decider - "faites vos jeux"
|
The carnival's in town
|
When the show is over
|
The empty streets are glistering in the rain
|
It's still the same
|
Riding on a ghost train
|
A feeling stranger than you've ever known
|
You're all alone.
|
They're putting up the posters
|
A wanted man's in town
|
They say he's armed and dangerous
|
And now he's gone to ground
|
He's livin' rough from hand to mouth
|
A lethal burning fuse
|
He know his time is running out
|
There's nothing left to loose
|
So parents find your children
|
And keep them safe indoors
|
He's killed before he'll kill again
|
The next one could be yours.
|
When the show is over
|
The empty streets are glistering in the rain
|
It's still the same
|
Riding on a ghost train
|
A feeling stranger than you've ever known
|
You're all alone.
