Lyrics: John Michael Howell Music: John Michael Howell I heard that there's a carnival The music there is loud,the lights are wonderful No one makes it out,they welcome you with grins But once you're in,you will never be the same again Let the games begin Mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm Let the games begin Mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm You can see the show any time you like When you feel alone,that's when they arrive Knockin' on your door,callin' in the night How could you ignore such a lovely time? Lights and prizes everywhere you look Anything to keep you hooked Empty smiles everywhere you turn Not a single lesson learned I heard that there's a carnival The music there is loud,the lights are wonderful No one makes it out,they welcome you with grins But once you're in,you will never be the same again Let the games begin Mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm Let the games begin Mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm,mm~mm~mm They welcome you with grins But once you're in,you will never be the same No,you will never be the same again
