welcome to my carnival
there's fun and there's games
and you'll recognize names that you know
as stars in my show
welcome to my carnival
my e-ticket rides
are the small suicides of the soul
they're out of control
spend your money, pay the fee
spend a short eternity in the know
welcome to my carnival
where fortunes are told
and you'll never grow old if you stay
please don't go away
welcome to my carnival
laugh at the geeks
and the numerous freaks that you see
while they're roaming free
spend your money, pay the fee
spend a short eternity in the know
welcome to my carnival
you've found the right place,
brother, and just in case you don't know
you star in my show

thank you for the past
thank you for the way
you've been first and last
it's been such a great relief
to believe in your belief

I've been feeling so serene
knowing I've the right to dream
thank you thank you

to believe in an embrace

I Get the Visions

I get the visions every day
from long ago and far away
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone
I get the visions in my sleep
and try in vain to grasp the deep
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone
I get the visions when I wake
but move too fast for them to take
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone
I get the visions while I work
beneath the babble where they lurk
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone
I get the visions while I rest
too worse for wear to be my best
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone
I get the visions every day
from long ago and far away
it's been a long time coming
it's been a long time gone

GET RUDE!
by Dan O'Connell & The Cast Of 1,000s
Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome.
