1.Life Is A Carnival
E
You can walk on the water, drown in the sand
You can fly off a mountaintop if anybody can
Run away, run away--it's the restless age
Look away, look away--you can turn the page

Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
F#m e／g# a b7sus e
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
E a／e e a／e
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
E a／e e a／e
Life is a carnival--two bits a shot
Saw a man with the jinx in the third degree
From trying to deal with people--people you can't see
Take away, take away, this house of mirrors
Give away, give away, all the souvenirs
We're all in the same boat ready to float off the edge of the
world
The flat old world
The street is a sideshow from the peddler to the corner girl
Life is a carnival--it's in the book
Life is a carnival--take another look
Hey, buddy, would you like to buy a watch real cheap
Here on the street
I got six on each arm and two more round my feet
Life is a carnival--believe it or not
2.Last Of The Blacksmiths
3.Where Do We Go From Here？
Did you hear about the eagle of distinction
The one that came on every friday afternoon
Well, it seems that eagle has near flown into extinction
Descending to the sand
His biggest enemy being man
Have you ever seen the freedom on the wing
Where do we go from here？ i asked my woman
Where do we go from here？ oh woman, my woman
La la la la la la la la la, she said, nowhere
Did you hear about the railroad going under
How it seems its days are numbered on the board
Well, i feel sad about the railroad and it's no wonder
It'd run right by my door
I can't hear it anymore
How can you get to sleep when the whistle don't moan
Where do we go from here？ is there no way of knowing
Where do we go from here？ oh, i need to be shown
La la la la la la la la la, they said, somewhere
Have you heard about the buffalo on the plain
And how at one time they'd stampede a thousand strong
Now that buffalo's at the zoo standing in the rain
Just one more victim of fate
Like california state
You sure do miss the silence when it's gone
Where do we go from here？ i hear from no one
Where do we go from here？ could you tell me, someone
La la la la la la la la la, i'd go anywhere
4.4% Pantomime
The management said they were sorry
For the inconvenience you are suffering
And mr. booking agent, please have mercy
Don't book the jobs so far apart
We went up to griffith park
With a fifth of johnny walker red
And smashed it on a rock and wept
While the old couple looked on into the dark
Oh, richard, tell me if it's poker
Oh, richard, tell me, who's got the joker and is it poker
Deuces wild, like an only child
I'll see what you got. how much is in the pot
You pay the tips and i'll collect the chips
It's a full house tonight--everybody in town is a loser
Yeah, you bet
The dealer's been dealing me bad hands
From the bottom of the deck without the slightest blush
And i don't know whether to call or check
But right now i feel like i got a royal flush
And my lady didn't show from 'frisco
But we had to go on with the show
Everybody got stoned--it was a gas, it was a smash
Everybody got wrecked, checked. oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards on the grade
Oh, belfast cowboy, can you call a spade a spade
Oh, richard, tell me, is the game poker
I can't understand who the fool is that holds this joker
Is it poker
Oh, belfast cowboy, lay your cards down on the table
Oh, belfast cowboy, do you think you're able
5.Shoot Out In Chinatown
6.The Moon Struck One
7.Thinkin' Out Loud
I was thinkin' out loud
Talking to myself
I was up on a cloud
There was nobody else
No, no i did not call
I never was allowed
To speak up at all
I was just thinkin' out loud
Transylvania train, circus never came
The heroes are all gone
No trampoline, fell without a scream
Who's looking for a job
Before i realized, i was hypnotized
Flashback to the past
Cross-eyed jack, monkey on his back
We knew it would not last
Room service gone off duty
The bellman has retired
This hotel is a beauty
Even the house dick's been fired
Then the sky came crashing down
And knocked me off this cloud
When i fell to the ground
I was just thinkin' out loud
8.Smoke Signal
Went to the movie matinee
To see the blue coats try to get away
From a smoke signal
Above the trees
A smoke signal
Shifting in the breeze
Some folks think it's make believe
Other folks ain't so naive
About a smoke signal
Could see it coming
A smoke signal
Hear the drums drumming
You don't believe what you read in the paper
You can't believe the stranger at your door
You don't believe what you hear from your neighbor
Your old neighborhood ain't even there no more
Indian maid will plant the seed
And cultivate a whole new breed
There's a smoke signal
Over your head
A smoke signal
You know what it said？
When they're torn out by the roots
Young brothers join in cahoots
To send a smoke signal
Near and far
A smoke signal
No matter where you are
You don't believe what they say on the radio
You don't believe what you see on the video
Living in the shadow of a doubt today
Still waiting for the smoke to clear away
Tried to get in touch with you
Tried to get my message through
By smoke signal
Honey, do ya read me
Smoke signal
Call me if you need me
There you were all in white
Standing out in the broad daylight
Lookin' like a smoke signal
From heaven above
Smoke signal
Oh, my love
9.Volcano
Got my motor runnin'
Little girl, are you comin'
Keep your candle burning bright
Soon as you are ready
Hold that ladder steady
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me in the dark
Like a ghost rider in your yard
Carving names in bark along the boulevard
I'd be a bushwhacker
Even be your hijacker
Keep your candle burning bright
When we cross that railroad track
There'll be no turning back
Come tread softly through the night
Don't leave me sitting here
Up on top of your fence
I'm like an alley cat up here, without a lick of sense
Volcano--i'm about to blow
Volcano--gonna overflow
Volcano--look out below
Don't leave me empty-handed
Like a villain in the woods
Prowling around the grounds, trying to make off with the goods
Volcano--i'm about to blow
Volcano--gonna overflow
Volcano--look out below

14.Don't Do It
Baby don't you do it, don't do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
A sacrifice would make you happy if nothing for myself
Now you wanna leave me for the love of someone else
My pride is all gone whether i'm right or wrong
I need you baby to keep on keepin' on
You know i'm trying to my best
Oh i'm trying to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
While i've been trying to do my best
Well i've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
Go down to the river and there i be
I'm gonna jump in girl, but you don't care bout me
Open up your eyes
Can't ya see i love ya？
Open up you heart, girl
Can't ya see i need ya？
Oh baby don't do it, do it, do it
Don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it don't you break my heart
My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know
Now you got me where you want me and you won't let me go
If my heart was made of glass well then you'd surely see
How much heartache and misery, girl, you've been causing me
While i've been trying to do my best
You know i've tried to do my best
Don't do it, don't you break my heart
Pleeeeease don't do it, don't you break my heart
