Carny

Face to face with a beauty, or he might've been
Mirrors distort me, but I still look like him
Wanted to feel how he crawled under my skin
Caught my reflection, the critter within
I heard him shout,
He's too big for this town
He's a carny now, and people come down
He plays to the crowd
Said goodbye to my sweetheart, or he might've been
Warping his portrait, he's a sideshow kid
Give a game to the carny, and he'll always win
Inflate him with glory just to get him back in
I heard him shout,
He's too big for this town
He's a carny now, and people come down
He plays to the crowd
I heard him shout,
He's too big for this town
He's a carny now, but I'll stick around
To be in his crowd
