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?
