Baby, don’t turn out the light
I wanna see you look at me
Whisper only truth tonight
Not just promises and empty fantasies

I don’t need a bed of roses
‘Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who’ll take me as I am

Baby, I need for you to know
Just exactly how I feel
Fiery passions come and go
I’d trade a million pretty words
For one touch that is real

I don’t need a bed of roses
‘Cause roses wither away
All I really need is honesty
From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who’ll take me as I am

From someone with a strong heart
A gentle hand
Who’ll take me as I am

The sun is sinking low and my mind wanders to You
And all the goodness that You gave when
You gave your life away
The sun is sinking low and I am thinking of You
And the price You paid just to let me live,
let me live another day
In this world you made
Enjoying it all the way, and I say…


(Chorus)


Take me, take me as I am
Show me, show me what I am to be
Write for me, write for me the melody
Take me as I am


The sun is sinking low and I am on my knees again
Saying that I’ll go wherever you want me to go
The sun is sinking low and
I kneel beside my bed again
Thank you for today, praying for tomorrow
That you’ll hold my hand
I can’t make it all alone, so I say…


(Repeat Chorus 2x)

You imagine when you see her
that she’s nothing less that perfect
That she has no aspirations
Beyond driving in her car
The car she looks so good in
Will she ever look that good again
you’ll never have to know
Because she’s gone

She passes in the left lane
And you’re turned on by the chase
Her hair flies in the wind
As your mind begins to race
The grass is always greener
But I wish you could have seen her
Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face

Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am

You think she knows the bible
And can swin the English Channel
Writes novels in her spare time
In a cabin in her woods
You wish I’d gone to college
And you wish I’d let my hair grow
you wish I didn’t have so many moods

Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am

Once you said you were in love with me
And maybe you still are
But the passion you once showed me
Now is lost among the stars
And you fancy some new fancy girl
Will come and change your life around
But she just turned the corner in her car

While for some other dreamin’ driver
I am that romantic stranger
Lookin’ better than I am
More mysterious by far
Speeding through his dreams
While I’m drivin’ in my car

Take me as I am
Take me as I am
For the woman that I am
Take me as I am
Take me as I am

Welcome to the dark carnival
Violent J, Shaggy2dope, the Insane Clown Posse will live forever
(Live forever) join us (live forever) follow me (live forever)
carnival awaits us (live forever)
Take my hand (live forever) take my hand (live forever)
Shangra La (live forever) live forever (live forever)

Here go another clown song freaky and weird
I’m still preachin’ I’m like Noah without the beard
I’m tryin’a spread the facts that I know for sure
Yet many don’t believe in our carnival freakshow
It’s alright though there’s enough who do
And only time will tell if our stories are true
But for everybody here I can promise you this (What?)
You’ll never hear us rap about the typical bullshit
Bling bling all the money they got
All the ice they wear and all the people they shot (Wohoo)
All the freaks they pull and all the cars they drive (Hehe)
Only we rap about fuckin’ a bee-hive
You wanna keep it real walk out your door
That’s as real as it gets from the sky to the floor (Uh-Huh)
But the Dark Carnival will take your soul away
And give you mythical adventure in a magical way
I live for The Carnival
I die for The Carnival
I pray for The Carnival
Please take me away (take me away)
I love for The Carnival
I die for The Carnival
I pray for The Carnival
Come take me away take me away
Funhouse, freak shows and murder-go-rounds (wooo)
Fuck how you lookin’ paint it up like a clown
Loosen up let it go you ain’t gotta be tense
Faygo flyin’ everywhere fuck makin’ sense (wooo)
And that’s the beauty of it look backstage
Ain’t another group out here on the same page
Run with everybody or walk with our crew (Come on!)
And stand on the moon face the world and say fuck you (Hahaha)
I ain’t sitting out playing that star biz
Put me in the ground where my juggalos is (hey!)
Treat me special I’ma leave your lip drainin’
We in this together waitin’ on the same wagon
Let ’em laugh now let ’em laugh for years (Hahaha)
We’ll see who’s laughin’ in the house of mirrors
Cuz that’s where I’m goin’ and if you’re not
Bump that other shit and hear about the ends they got (hahaha)
I live for, The Carnival
I die for, The Carnival (Yea!)
I pray for, The Carnival (Yea!)
Come take me away (take me away)
I love for, The Carnival,
I die for, The Carnival,
I pray for, The Carnival…
Please take me away (take me away )
Live forever
Take My Hand
Live forever
Live forever
Come take a journey through heaven and hell
See what we have to come, and share the story I tell (Ha!)
Walk hand-in-hand with the devil and God
‘Let ’em pull you in half, purgatory is odd
Fuck newspapers, Fuck magazines (Fuck!)
Fuck A&Rs, and your ball-huggin’ jeans
Fuck anybody tryin’ to change our ways
As long as 6 Joker Cards got somethin’ to say (What?!)
I speak for the crazy I speak for scrubs
I speak for the thugs pissin’ in your hot tubs (hehe)
I speak for the people that you always say don’t know how to act (Shit)
We like ’em just like that (Uh-huh)
Fuck your Grammy’s
fuck your Music Awards
I strangle your host with his microphone cord
Fuck anybody who ain’t down with the clown (Uh-uuh)
From now until millennium’s after I’m dead in the ground

(Chorus X4)
I live for, The Carnival,
I die for, The Carnival,
I pray for, The Carnival…
Come take me away, take me away

(chorus)

chorus

from top

My body burns like there’s a desert deep in me
A thirsty soul so unsatisfied
But there you are like a river to the sea
The one chance I have to change my life.. Darlin’

Take me away from here
Make it seem like we’re a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve ever been before
Show me that there’s something more

Sometimes I feel like I’m trapped inside myself
Spinning wheels up and down, round and round
Going nowhere just like everybody else
With no touch, no sight, no sound.. but you could

Take me away from here
Make it seem like we’re a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve ever been before
Show me that there’s something more

Give me hopes and dreams to fill my head
Push my heart so I can fly again

Take me away from here
Make it seem like we’re a million miles away
Another time, another place
Make me a different man
Move me farther than I’ve ever been before
Show me that there’s something more

Take me away from here
Take me away from here
Take me away from here

Take me away to some other land
I gotta get away from that girl before I go crazy
She took my love away
She took it to another man
Now I gotta get away from that girl
Before I go craaaazy

(Repeat twice)

Gotta get away
Crazy
She took my love away
Now I gotta get away

(Repeat first verse)

this time what I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
this time you burn me with your eyes
you see past all the lies
you take it all away
I’ve seen it all
and it’s never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
just take me away

I try to make my way to you
but still I feel so lost
I don’t know what else I can do
I’ve seen it all
and it’s never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
just take me away

don’t give up on me yet
don’t forget who I am
I know I’m not there yet
but don’t let
me stay here alone

this time what I want is you
there is no one else
who can take your place
I’ve seen enough and it’s never enough
it keeps leaving me needing you

take me away
take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
just take me away

take me away
take me away
I’ve got nothing left to say
just take me away

Take me away hehe
Take me away hehe
Take me away hehe
Take me away hehe
Baby, take me away hehe
Take me away hehe
Baby, take me away

I won’t see reality, I won’t see reality
I won’t see, I won’t see
I won’t see reality, I won’t see reality
I won’t see, I won’t see
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel, you make me feel
You make me feel, you make me feel
Baby
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel oh baby

Take me away hehe

Oh baby, I’ve got all this love, it’s more than enough
oh baby, I’m filled with desire, I’m caught in your fire
oh baby, you’ve got the power to turn me on

You knew it, you looked in my eyes, you read in my mind
you move me, spinning me ’round, around and around
oh you have the power to rule my mind and soul

Take me, I’ll be your woman
use me, make me your own
take me, make me your woman
love me now, and don’t leave me alone

Oh baby, there’s something inside, that’s I just can’t hide
oh baby, well I want you so, just take me real slow
oh baby, you’ve got the power to turn me on

I want you, I know what I want, I want what I see
I need you, I need you right now, and you know just how
well I need you to cool the fire that’s burning so

Take me, I’ll be your woman
use me, make me your own
take me, make me your woman
love me now, and don’t leave me alone

Baby, baby, baby, oh baby,
oh baby, oh baby, oh baby

Take me, I’ll be your woman
use me, make me your own
take me, make me your woman
love me now, and don’t leave me alone
love me now, and don’t leave me alone
love me now, and don’t leave me alone
