Hurry, hurry
Step right up

A carnival for the human race
Cotton candy, happy face
A child talking with his mouth full
Girlfriend gets stuffed animal

A festive mood is all around
Another world is what we've found
Step right up, let's make a deal
Ride the ferris wheel

You know there's something
Lurking underneath the shape
With a mask over it's head
And makeup on his face

Will Warner Brothers put our
Record on the shelf
Take a look in the mirror
And see the clown in yourself

If you want to know
What's behind the show
You ride my carousel and
Enter life's jail cell

Love and blood begin to meld
You've lost the self
That you once held
Merry go round your head
Awake, asleep, alive, or dead

The clown that painted a smile on you
Is now the one unmasking you
Animated scenes unwind
Dormant figures come to life

Entangled in your own web
A twisted tunnel overhead
A glimpse of light
A drop of dew
You slide into the swimming pool

A roller coaster ride
Into the rivers of your mind
The currents merge
your feelings surge
your life's a pantomime

Beauty is the spiral going
Round and round the beast
Without the vampire effect
The carnival is deceased

If you want to know
What's behind the show
You ride my carousel and
Enter life's jail cell

Love and blood begin to meld
You've lost the self
That you once held
Merry go round your head
Awake, asleep, alive, or dead

Fun

Roly Poly
Topsy turvy
Hang upside down
Fall to the ground
I think I'm going to be sick
Mr. Bungle

ICP would never dare rip off an awful Dark Carnival from this terrible band.ICP is ok but im not really their fan but they are definetely better than this peice of garbage.Patton has the same high pitched vocal tone as Britney Spears.

Just because they changed their name from Inner City Posse to Insane Clown Posse doesnt necessarily mean they got it from this CD.The whole carnival clown concept was a very popular ordeal in the early 90's even though if ICP was infuenced by Mr.Bungle which allmusic.com states they were.And that wasnt an excuse it was just a turning point to make up something FICTIONAL(The Dark Carnival) for the fuck of it.For fun.Even if they did boost up their idea out of this ICP still rules.But I highly doubt that they got it from this CD and allmusic.com maybe wrong about influences.There was a whole lot of "carnival" shit going on back in those days that ICP could of got the idea from.Not necessarily this.

Actually, this song was released in 1987 (although actually on a bootleg.) And ICP's first album, even as the "Inner City Posse" was only in 1990. So, even though I don't know anything about the politics between the two, this came first.

ICP is the worst thing to happen to music since VD, and Mike Patten > you.
