    Lyrics »

I once had a heart of stone
Now I don't know what went wrong
These aren't familiar places
These aren't familiar times
I could be so cruel sometimes
Didn't care if my graces were returned
I ran a ride in the carnival
Until we made the stop in Baton Rouge
The captain told me son, don't ever run away
'Cause you're bound to lose
Father was the flashing lights
Mother was the summer nights
Monkey Man and Gypsy Lady reckoned I was seventeen
Endless sea of faces seen
I was told regard them wise, the freaks outside

I ran a ride in the carnival
Until we made the stop in Baton Rouge
I knew the moment that I looked into your eyes
I was bound to lose.
