Band, The - Life Is A Carnival Lyrics






You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away--it's the restless age
Look away, look away--you can turn the page

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot

Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people--people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival--it's in the book
Life is a carnival--take another look

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot

    I see a lot of folks are here 'cause of an anime soundtrack. Hope y'all will check out more of The Band 'cause they have TONS of great tunes.

    (Acadian Driftwood, Look Out Cleveland, Whistle Stop, Stagefright, Jupiter Hollow, The Weight, When You Awake, Rags and Bones.... just to name a few.)

    R.... E....

    Thanks for being cool. <3 A lot of people are snooty about not finding out about things the "right" way, but like anything that gets people to experience things they normally wouldn't is pretty cool I think.

    Children who don't have any idea what actual music is? They think computer noises are music.

  14. J.... R....

    Most of comments are about Carole & Tuesday. I`m so proud of this community

    J.... R....

    That's because all the old people who have loved this song for fifty years have never heard of your tv show, and don't care about it, anyway, so they don't comment

    You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
    You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
    Run away, run away, it's the restless age
    Look away, look away, you can turn the page
    Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
    Here on the street
    I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
    Life is a carnival, believe it or not
    Life is a carnival, two bits a shot

    Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
    From trying to deal with people, people you can't see
    Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
    Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
    We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the world
    The flat old world
    The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
    Life is a carnival, it's in the book
    Life is a carnival, take another look

    Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap

    I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
    Life is a carnival, believe it or not
    Life is a carnival, two bits a shot

    Life is a carnival
    Life is a carnival
    Life is a carnival

  31. J.... G....

    Song about my former employer in Toronto. The Canadian National Exhibition.

  32. B.... C....

    Peaked on the U.S. Hot 100 Weekly Billboard Singles Chart in October 1971

  33. l.... ....

    I can't believe i didn't know the band sang this song until now 2017. FML.

  34. R.... z....

    Larger then life brought me here.

  35. D.... ....

    Horns arranged by the late great Allen Toussaint..

  36. z.... ....

    My favorite Band song!

  37. M.... C....

    The groove reminds me of Joe Tex's "I Gotcha".  Levon and Rick are bringing the funk.

    M.... C....

    joe tex not in same class

    M.... C....

    @Jamie Wesson ..don't be an asshole..oops, too late.

    M.... C....

    You're right. it's amazingly similar, but "I gotcha" came out in 1972, Cahoots in 1971. White boys got they own thang.

  38. d.... ....

    Larger Than Life

  39. C.... D....
