Here Comes the Carnival Songtext
von Insane Clown Posse

Ladies and gentlemen!
Boys and girls!
Your lucky town is the next stop for the world-famous Dark Carnival!
Come ride the Tilt-A-Whirl! The Murder-Go-Round! The Terror Wheel!
Explore the Funhouse! Or the Tunnel of Love!
Everyone′s invited to the carnival
Everything is free, they only charge your soul
Are you brave enough to ride the Demon Drop?
Turn your ass into a splater, bleedin' slop
Joker laughin′ as he juggles severed heads
All the carnies cannibals and never fed
Fat man up the long ladder gets shoved
Fans love the splatter on 'em, all spits blood
Cloaked in the fog, wagons slowly creep
Tents are erected as townsfolk sleep
Cue the music and lights, come gather around
Three witches flyin' high above the grounds
Monkey on the shoulder, blind man yells, "Tickets!"
Free for the abusive and free for the bigots!
A life pass for your soul, what a steal


Just put your hand on the book and say, "Deal!"
Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival
Join hands with the dead and come
Bloodshed, bedlam, yum yum yum (Yum yum yum)
Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival
Murder rides and torture fun
We′ve got doom for everyone
Strongman picked a volunteer from the crowd
Ripped his head right off his neck, the cheer was loud
Road rage bumper cars, you fight ′til you drop
Last living wins, but the winner gets shot
Bodies everywhere, and they rot in a stack
Stripped of a soul they won't ever get back
Human cannonball launched into a wall
(Show′s over! Thank you! Merch up in the front, y'all!)
Step in the fun house, mazes and mirrors
Everything is cartoon caricature weird
Screams in reverse and a laughing clown loop
Bloody-eyed kids holding hands dance around you
Many jokers and jokettes love playin′ games
Slingshottin' pebbles, lodge ′em deep in your brain
Green shoes, pink hair, polka-dotted balloon
With a bang, pow, death pop, clank and kaboom!

Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival
Join hands with the dead and come
Bloodshed, bedlam, yum yum yum (Yum yum yum)
Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival
Murder rides and torture fun
We've got doom for everyone
Elephants, midgets, and them souvenir scams
Sweet sticky cotton candy goop is on your hands
Hungry lions fed up, through with doin' their demands
Swipe the trainer′s head off, and it flew up in the stands
Burn when the tornado of flames come and touch down
Axe in her back, she make the same as a fuck sound
Bathe in the pain when all the blood rain dumps down
Blood rain dumps down, blood rain dumps down
Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival (Blood rain dumps down)
Join hands with the dead and come
Bloodshed, bedlam, yum yum yum (Yum yum yum) (Blood rain dumps down)
Here comes the carnival
Cheer the Dark Carnival (Blood rain dumps down)
Murder rides and torture fun
We′ve got doom for everyone (Blood rain dumps down)

Let's all become maggot feed
Join us on the other side
