It catches fire at midnight
It leaves the room for doubt
But every thing's so well defined

There's only one way out

And all the girls are on tonight

The colored wheels all spin
You're more aware than ever before
You need a prize to win


And all the funfair's will have one
That is the usual theme

No secret Jack in this box
To help the pain within


Quiet country roads and trees
Birds singing from a cage
You understand you just lost one

You step outside your rage

And what's left to believe in

The children in the lake
I didn't see them go under
Let's try another take


Pass me the bottle, baby
One day you'll understand

We almost make the same mistakes
And hold each other's hands


Take this particular shade of gray
Just for a change I shout
There's nothing in this fairground

That couldn't be left out

There isn't much left to show you

Maybe the tunnel of love
Who knows we'll be there forever
Just like the stars above
