THE CARNIVAL

[Verse 1]
Why you hidin', why you hidin'
What you hiding for?
In the shadows, in the shadows
Should be on the floor
Under the spotlight, under the spotlight
O-oh, o-oh
You're the colour, you're the colour
In a static world
Kinda crazy, kinda crazy
And you're beautiful
Get off the sidelines, into the spotlight
O-oh, o-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all more than a little strange
Deemed clinically insane
Make way to the centre stage where you belong

[Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival
Come out now wherever you are
You can't keep diamonds in the dark
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival

[Verse 2]
Why you frozen, why you frozen
In an open cage?
Should be dancing, should be dancing
Up in outer space
Into the starlight, into the starlight
O-oh, o-oh

[Pre-Chorus]
We're all more than a little strange
Deemed clinically insane
Make way to the centre stage where you belong

[Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival
Come out now wherever you are
You can't keep diamonds in the dark
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival

[Bridge]
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show—
La-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
Come on, come all as you are
Where are my twisted superstars?
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival
Come out now wherever you are
You can't keep diamonds in the dark
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show up at the carnival

[Outro]
It's not a freak show
Tell all the freaks, show—
La-la-la-la-la
