Carnival Glass
They say little girls fall in love with their fathers; Well, my daddy was a carnie with a traveling show. Sideshow prince, the king of the midway -- My mama was a one-night stand in Idaho.
Mama did her best with what my daddy gave her, Taught me right from wrong and told me to behave. I tried to be good, but my best couldn't save her, And I hit the road while Mama was still warm in her grave.
A ticket to the freakshow if you please, I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.
They say little girls are all sugar and sunshine; Well, I was made of ticket stubs and carnival glass. Play to win, follow the lady -- A dollar and a quarter for an all-night pass.
I struck out to the west without a glance behind me, Nothing in my pocket but a hand and a prayer. The shadows crashed down so the light couldn't find me; No one ever promised me that life would be fair.
A ticket to the freakshow if you please, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.
They say little girls should be seen and be silent; Well, I was screaming loud enough to turn back the wind. Miles to go, no rest for the wicked -- I guess I'm just my daddy's daughter in the end.
Mama's just a phantom on the midnight midway, Daddy works the ticket booth while I work the crowd. You can't change your nature -- I learned that the hard way. So I'll follow the lady 'til I make Daddy proud.
A ticket to the freakshow if you please, I've gone and caught my heritage just like a disease. There's no vaccination for what's bred in the bone. The angels take the good, the devil takes his own.
They say little girls fall in love with their fathers; Well, my daddy was a carnie with a traveling show. Sideshow prince, the king of the midway -- My mama was a one-night stand in Idaho.
