Carnival Left Town

Cotton candy machine unplugged
Taffy stretched to the limit
Ferris wheel broken down

House of mirrors reflect
What was - where happy people came
Caravan hauls out of town

Vacant lot free to grow weeds
Somebody will drive by and think its beautiful
Ticket stub blows to somebody's bar where lights are dim
