Lyrics
SOMETIMES AT NIGHT WHEN THE DEVIL GETS INSIDE OF ME
I'LL RUN AND HIDE SOMEWHERE I KNOW YOU'RE GONNA FIND ME
OUR BODIES MELTING IN THE NIGHT - LIVING IN A CARNIVAL
FIND YOUR LOVE AND HOLD ON TIGHT - LIFE IS JUST A CARNIVAL
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SANITY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES ALL TO HELL
WHEN YOU'RE DROWNED IN MISERY AND YOU'RE FEELING UNWELL
BUT AIN'T THERE SOMETHING MORE THE WORLD CAN BE
DELIVER US FROM THE VALLEY OF SHAME
LORD TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN - TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN
YOUR FRIENDS ALL SAY I'M LIVING IN A DREAM WORLD
DON'T TURN AWAY CAN'T YOU SEE IT'S SUCH A MEAN WORLD
IT'S LIKE WE CAN'T TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT - LIVING IN A CARNIVAL
BUT THE SHADOW WORLD GIVES WAY TO LIGHT - LIFE IS JUST A CARNIVAL
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SANITY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES ALL TO HELL
WHEN YOU'RE DROWNED IN MISERY AND YOU'RE FEELING UNWELL
BUT AIN'T THERE SOMETHING MORE THE WORLD CAN BE
DELIVER US FROM THE VALLEY OF SHAME
LORD TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN - TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN
IF IT'S ALL THE SAME I THINK I'M GONNA FIND ME
SOME FOOLS TO BLAME IT'S PROBABLY JUST LIKE ME
THERE'S PEOPLE MOVING IN THE NIGHT - LIVING IN A CARNIVAL
BELIEVERS WON'T GIVE UP THE FIGHT - LIFE IS JUST A CARNIVAL
SOLO
YOU CAN LOSE YOUR SANITY WHEN EVERYTHING GOES ALL TO HELL
WHEN YOU'RE DROWNED IN MISERY AND YOU'RE FEELING UNWELL
BUT AIN'T THERE SOMETHING MORE THE WORLD CAN BE
DELIVER US FROM THE VALLEY OF SHAME
LORD TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN - TAKE AWAY THIS PAIN
OH WHOA WHOA WHOA - LIFE IS JUST A CARNIVAL
