Carnival
[Verse 1: Anthony Hamilton]
We play to win, just to find the dark
Go home again, and we both fall out
I wanna spend the time with you
Doing nothing
Keep you satisfied, while they rob us blind
I hear the music in the background
Singing, singing
[Bridge: Anthony Hamilton]
Oh, I haven't see the glory
Coming, coming coming
And we play
We play, we play, we play like a-
[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton + Choir]
Just like a carnival
Game (Just like a carnival)
Laugh (Just like a carnival)
Joke (Just like a-)
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival
[Verse 2: Anthony Hamilton]
We play to win, just to find the dark
Go... again, and we both fall out
L-...
I wanna spend the time with you
Doing nothing
[Chorus (Variation): Anthony Hamilton + Choir]
We... (Just like a carnival)
We laughed (Just like a carnival)
Sleep with the dead (Just like a carnival)
Playing with your mind (Just like a-)
Spinning me round and around and around
Just like a carnival, yeah

[Verse 3: Damon Albarn]
It isn't really dark at all
Spinning around in this ball
There as I [?]
Staring up to God
What [?] you're always here for
Simmer down some more
[Refrain: Anthony Hamilton]
Played, we played
[Chorus (Variation): Anthony Hamilton + Choir]
(Just like a carnival)
And laughed (Just like a carnival)
Sleep with the dead (Just like a carnival)
Playing with your mind (Just like a-)
Spinning round and around and around
Just like a carnival
