Our Lady Peace - Carnival Lyrics

Such a beauty. This song is a hidden gem, lost amongst the radio hits

Making the common mistake of not listening through an album cost me 20 years of enjoying this song. 4am has been my favorite all along, and of course SD and Clumsy I had enjoyed. Glad I came across this song now in an bass ackward way, looks like its time to put the whole album on tonight....

OLP had a great run there in the late 90s. Played them alot with my older brother back then. Whenever I think of OLP I'm flooded with memories of PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and Funcoland.

Underrated gold

You know you're not a strong man
And you're just about to cry
Hang on, hang on
It's alright, it's alright

You worry about the future
The sign said "Yoga class for cats"
It's okay it's okay
It's no fun

You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around

And the dynamite is waiting
'Cause they bankrupted the sky
It's okay, it's okay
It's no fun

You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around

Break your mother's back
If you step on the cracks
And everybody knows

You're frustrated by the cracks
In the pavement
And every mother's back
Once again
The carnival closed down
But if this world would ever turn around

You'll be there when everybody's sane
You'll be there when everybody's sane
You'll be there when everybody's sane
You'll be there when everybody's sane
You'll be there

The carnival closed down
