lyrics

It's such a beautiful evening
But I've got so much to do
I've been invited to a thousand parties
But none of them are as appealing as you
The Lord Mayor waits in my pantry
But I'm so tired of being the guest of state

My mind is roaming free
Tonight the carnival's in town
I'd make a million friends there
But the window is locked...

I've fallen in love with life
But really I've fallen in love with you
Too bad you're heading in the other direction
But then life can be savagely cruel
You've got to laugh your way through the heartache
It's no life being bitter and blue

And my mind is roaming free
Tonight the carnival's in town
I'd make a million friends there
But the window is locked...

I'm on a rollercoaster that's taking me high up in the clouds
But I wish I could control it, I can't even see what's round this bend
Won't somebody slam the breaks on before I leave everyone behind
Like ants on the ground?

It's such a beautiful evening
But I've got too much to loose
I dance between a thousand parties
But everything just reminds me of you
I'd give anything to stop and smell the roses
But there's too much to do that I just can't miss

And my mind is roaming free
Tonight the carnival's in town
I'd make a million friends there
I'd feel completely in place there
So I'll smash the window...
