Those carnies with their smoke and mirrors
Take breaks outside when no one is looking
They talk of memories of summers past
And turn on the neon for one more ride.
Taking in all those fumes from the vendors
Breathing out all those lies they had sold
Dreaming of college and friends come and gone
On top of their world they can’t see very far.
Tree tops and cities and faces that glow
Footprints and ashes today and the next
Popcorn and “Bingo” is all that they hear
Smile and Surviving is all that they know.
The paint is dripping down their old faces
Wondering “Who, What and Where” might have been
Knowing tomorrow by every dried eye
“Step right up and try your hand at luck, boy”
Had nothing, knew nothing, but all the same
Paint on their smiles and “see you next year, kids!”
The ferris wheel; their only saving grace
On top of their world they can’t see very far.
