The Dusklit Carnival Lyrics by Madame Macabre

2018

On the outskirts of a forest dusk-lit
Resting underneath the shady trees
In the daylight you might walk right by it
But at night the sight can weaken knees
A strange carnival that's unfamiliar
Swear you never saw it here before
Frightening sights and then a set of figures
Come to greet you at the big top door
So you've heard of clowns hanging in suburb forests
They might spook your but they're only waiting for us
There's a show that they can't miss they're simply dying
For a ticket, ask us nice you might just get in
Jesters and jokers, they fill the floor
If you've the urge to clown around we've room for more
Don't let conventions subdue the call
This madness is what you've been craving after all
The crowd settles down and the lights go dim
You're scared to remain but your senses cave in
Show's just begun all eyes are on you
The ringmaster is beckoning tell us what you'll do
They say anyone who goes inside there
Doesn't come back out the same again
Could be something not quite right in the air
Messing with the structures in their brain
Wild laughter and the smell of popcorn
Swirling colors and the flash of lights
Wonder why you ever thought it forlorn
Dancing through the midway by moonlight
Then the master with a wild gleam in her eye
Pulls you closer by the arm you wonder why
Something's out of place her gaze just isn't human
Fangs exposed and you know she's no normal woman
Jesters and jokers, they fill the floor
If you've the urge to clown around we've room for more
Don't let conventions subdue the call
This madness is what you've been craving after all
Feel yourself changing you're giving in
This anarchy and chaos you're yearning within
Look at yourself you're just like us now
Come and haunt the night with us friend we'll show you how
Every time that carnival rolls through a town
Another person disappears
And in their place you'll find a brand new lurking clown
Waiting for it to reappear
If you see the glow of midway lights within the darkness of the dusk-lit forest
Keep your loved ones and your wits about you
Stay away you simply must resist
Jesters and jokers, they fill the floor
If you've the urge to clown around we've room for more
Don't let conventions subdue the call
This madness is what you've been craving after all
Come join the show there's an act for you
You're now one of us show us what you can do
We'll sing away howling through the night
But we won't leave a trace we'll be gone by morning light
