I've got it bad What do I do with this ache that I have? Just let it be, Or should I use all the tricks up my sleeve?
This ain't a game This ain't a game I want to play All the pieces are frayed And there are rules Oh, these are rules I can't obey
It seems so unfair They bite and they scratch when they're not even there The giddyup days Go down with the sun as the calliope plays
So take a spin Come take a spin and start the show Climb the ropes and let go You're worried now Don't worry now, no one'll know
Would you think very badly of me If I took the first route that's easy? Would you help me to free All the baggage you see? Could you conquer this carnival?
It's started to sting All of these words that I feel when I sing Take it away I can't bear to see how you suffer this way
So many things Too many things you can't deny Such good reasons to try I want to hear I need to hear you say the lines
Would you think very badly of me If I took the first route that's easy? Would you help me to free All the baggage you see? Could you conquer this carnival?
Would you battle the Pisces in me?
This ain't a game This ain't a game I want to play All the moves have been feigned And there are rules Too many rules no one obeys
Would you think very badly of me If I took the first route that's easy? Would you help me to free All the baggage you see? Could you conquer this carnival? Would you battle the Pisces?
