I've got it bad
What do I do with this ache that I have?
Just let it be...
Or should I use all the tricks up my sleeve?This ain't a game
This ain't a game I want to play
All the pieces are frayed
And there are rules
Oh, these are rules I can't obeyIt seems so unfair
They bite and they scratch when they're not even there
The giddyup days
Go down with the sun as the calliope playsSo take a spin
Come take a spin and start the show
Climb the ropes and let go
You're worried now
Don't worry now, no one'll know[Chorus:]
Would you think very badly of me
If I took the first route that's easy?
Would you help me to free
All the baggage you see
Could you conquer this carnival?It's started to sting
All of these words that I feel when I sing
Take it away
I can't bear to see how you suffer this waySo many things
Too many things you can't deny
Such good reasons to try
I want to hear
I need to hear you say the lines[Chorus]Would you battle the Pisces in me?This ain't a game
This ain't a game I want to play
All the moves have been feigned
And there are rules
Too many rules no one obeysWould you think very badly of me
-Don't think badly of me-
If I took the first route that's easy
-I'll find a way out-
Would you help me to free
All the baggage you see
Could you conquer this carnival
-Could you conquer me-
Would you battle the Pisces...
