Step this way to experience marvels of the
modern age and mythic monstrosities
extracted from the Emerald Realm.
Folks let me remind you these
fascinating exhibits are presented
solely in the interest of education and science.
Undoubtably
the most captivating and
startling sights you will ever see!
There will be a slight admission charge
and we don't apologize for that.
Enter now
the mystical, irresistible,
Dream Carnival.
Step right up, test your muscle against
Hanford the Giant, say what you think,
missing link? Man or beast?
You decide.

Lyrics by David C. Thomas
What goes up must come down
Spinning Wheel
got to go 'round
Talkin' 'bout your troubles, it's a cryin' sin
Ride a painted pony let the Spinning Wheel spin.
You got no money, you got no home
Spinning Wheel
all alone
Talking 'bout your trouble and you
you never learn
Ride a painted pony let the Spinning Wheel turn.
Did you find your directing sign on the
straight and narrow highway,
Would you mind a reflecting sign
just let it shine within your mind and
show you the colors that are real.
Someone is waiting just for you,
Spinning Wheel spinning true,
Drop all your troubles by the riverside
Catch a painted pony on the Spinning Wheel ride.

I Held Out (Lament for the Dog-Faced Boy)
Oh I held out a place in my heart for you . . .
Now your've gone sadly astray
like a fool off-leash hound
Why can't you be
the kind of dawg I'd keep around?
Now, you could come here
Or you could stay there
'Cause honey I ain't gonna give chase...
But I held out a place in my heart for you.
Oh, I held, held out it's true
I'm gonna keep that place in my heart for you
a doghouse deep in the dark.
See you buried my heart
here just like a bone
to return to it
If I'd pick up that phone
So when you come back
like you always do
Lookin' a disgrace, waitin' outside my gate
Oh I held out a place in my heart for you
Yeah ya' had me tangled up, now that you knew
I'm gonna keep that place in my heart for you
a doghouse deep in the dark.
'Cause I know that you're there
laying on her front porch
still trackin' the scent of what's
cookin' up north!
Oh I held out a place in my heart for you
Yes I held out, held out it's true
Oh, there's still a place in my heart for ya' baby
That doghouse deep in the dark, painted blue.

Lyrics by Sheryl Diane Shumsky
Mirror Maze
Can you see in the mirror
Can you know all around
Take a turn just to see if you can
Find your silly self
So many possibilities crowd the glass
So many choices to fail or pass
There's no one guiding you to where you're headed to
Did you happen to wear sensible shoes?
You went in on the bet of a friend
Go ahead and shout, when you can't get out
But the Carnie won't come to help
Can you check your reflection?
Can you fix it or trade?
For this is now and forever
'til your light's gonna fade
So swim in the silver, heed the divine
Infinite angles on your shoes that shine
It's all up to YOU to figure a way through
Did you happen to refuse every clue?
You got stalled in a bitter dead end
Risk a fool's yell, stay just where you fell
But the Carnie won't come to help

Lyrics by Sheryl Diane Shumsky
Hung upon your skin
a gallery to parade in
mind if I take a look
trace a clue skin deep
sneak a peak upon your sleeve
I can read you like a
road map
Painted ladies, illustrated man
the silent TYPE with an indigo mood
being discreet won't do you any good
no good baby I can read you like
a book
With my magnifying glass
I'll uncover the clue
and find out what it says
about you
I'm just a Tattoo Detective
Yeah just a
Tattoo Detective
Tattoo Super Sleuth

When you get caught in your pajamas
now you just act like you planned it
'cause honey that's ok
(chorus)
Git Yo' Freak On
Freaky freaky freaky freak
Git Yo' Freak On
Freaky freaky freaky freak it yeah
Oh you could let your hair down
Touch up your makeup, become a clown
Join the parade
So you don't have to be yourself
If you try hard to be
Somebody else
Please feel free to ...
