Thank you for the ride
The high of the peaks
The dips and the turns
Never once an even pace
Or a straight line
Always up or down
Wild or serene
Fast or stopped
But then, you pulled over
You let me out
I didn't want to go
I needed the rush
I lived for the thrill
Each ride made me want more
It was our carnival, just for us
You never told me
This ride was not meant for two
I thought we were in it alone here
I didn't know it was open to anyone
Any girl or boy willing to pay
Could join you in your games
Now I see an empty lot
Where the carnival stood
It was there for months
Just one ride after another
The Tunnel of Love
The House of Mirrors
The Freak Show
Now like a used up ticket,
Stepped on and dirty
Worthless and used
I lie on the empty grounds
Of the carnival
That was us
You don't look back
You're off to the next place
The next silly girl
Who believes in carnival dreams
Which to you are jokes and games
