Rocking horse has turned to dust,
Ashes on the line.
Ship of dreams has turned to rust,
Happens every time.

Chorus: sewer turns to gold,
Same old talk, seems old.
I need a drink to keep my fever down.
When the moon comes out shine,
Spare the rod and pour some wine.
Just keep on keepin on.
I'll be hear when the carnival is gone.

Lets go back to yesterday,
If only for a song.
Brother come on out and play,
You can still sing along.

Chorus: sewer turns to gold
Same old talk, seems old.
I roll the painted lady
When I'm down.
When the moon comes out shine,
Hold the force and pour some wine.
Just keep on keepin on
I'll be here for the carnival.

Interlude: one of these days you'll see the sound.
Riding back 10 feet off the ground.
Wanna stay lost until I'm found.
Just keep on keepin on.
I'll be hear when the carnival is gone.

Chorus: sewer turns to gold
Same old talk, seems old.
I need another drink before I drown.
When the moon comes out shine,
Spare the rod and pour some wine.
Just keep on keepin on
I'll be hear when the carnival is gone.
