Fish Internal Exile Single Carnival Man It's a quarter past midnight and she aint no Cinderella She's swallowed all your best lines and she's staying in the hotel You've got a number from the bar tab that she's running The circus comes to town Temptation! Oooh, such a temptation! Such a temptation! The cage door is open and you're living on the high wire Clowning in the spotlight you've got no one to bring you down The cab's impatient, this lady's willing The ringmaster calls you down Temptation! Oh, such a temptation! Temptation! Oh, such a temptation! The Carnival Man! So glad to know you The Carnival Man! You're shaking hands with The Carnival Man! So pleased to meet you The Carnival Man! Call me Mister Temptation Like a bullet in a chamber that you're thinking is empty You press it to your temple with a finger on the trigger An act of bravado, an act of defiance It's all eyes upon you now Temptation! Oh, such a temptation! Temptation! Oh, such a temptation! The Carnival Man! So glad to know you The Carnival Man! You're shaking hands with The Carnival Man! So pleased to meet you The Carnival Man! Call me Mister Temptation Is there anything you want? Anything you desire? Just tell me anything you need They call me Mister Temptation You're the life and soul of every party Now you're walking wounded, just another casualty You've got my sympathy, you've got my calling card This call's collect I'm the Carnival Man You may remember me as Mister Temptation Carnival Man This is the day that the circus leaves town Goodbye, Carnival Man This is the day that the circus leaves town Goodbye This is the day that the circus leaves town There is a long (well over a minute) instrumental break before the verse beginning "You're the life and soul...". -- Geoff Parks |
