Carnival Mirror

Well you know how and where to live off the goodwill of strangers And let my head grow wild and wide Then have the shadow of money crashing over me Wherever I go I feel it under my eyes Well I ain't saying that I ain't used to it somehow I spent my time with the wise men too But if it's one thing I would've done differently I'd kill him fast before he understood For crying out loud, I just want out No, I can't take it anymore This carnival mirror has got everybody feeling sick There's no winner, there's no loser Just life and its abuser Leave no trace and give no reason why Gold by design From what I gather there's nothing to worry about Inside these walls taller than heaven With all this talk about building them high now You gotta wonder what's behind the living With your eyes like fire and your heart like stone And your voice like oblivion Mona Yeah you are quick to abide by your bottomless pride But you hide when it's overflowing For crying out loud, I just want out No I can't take it anymore This carnival mirror has got everybody feeling sick There's no winner, there's no loser Just life and its abuser Leave no trace and give no reason why Gold by design, gold by design
