In A Carnival

Words & Music by Edgar Montes De Oca copyright 6-10-00

I found myself in a carnival, the fat man said he had it all

The bearded lady fell asleep on the lap of a 47 year old freak

Well I don’t mean to cause an emergency, but I swear to God this

is not a dream

I felt her beard up then she shaved and the fat man cried and

slapped me in my face

And I’ve just not been myself these days

so the cops are here to take me away

Believe me I don’t wanna go but I had a life now it’s getting old

The ring master was never there and the human cannon ball

vanished in the air

And I’m scared that I may end my life

so the cops are here to take me for a ride, my my my

I’ve been out of line, I’ve been seeing things I just don’t wanna

hear

I feel so abused, never had the blues so bad

I wanna disappear..........

The longing in the fat man’s face, the bearded lady in disgrace

And the freak don’t care about a thing

He told me that the loser

never wins, safe within

When all my friends are old and gray perhaps they’ll understand

me for today

And I know I don’t want suicide so the cops are here to take me

for a ride, my my my

Cause I’ve just not been myself these days so the cops are here to

take me away
