THE CON vocal: Janice Merritt (www.janiceandbud.com) love is just an illusion house of mirrors, a million sides prices might not seem so high but add up after so many rides mud when it rains, dust when it's dry better look before you leap the show tents are all in place but the stakes don't go so deep that's the con, it's the carnival way you cannot win if you don't pay to play no one walks away without losing so you may as well try your hand if you haven't the strength to reach the top make concessions to make your stand but what of your heart when the hurting starts when it's packed up and moved away did you ever see the sad debris when the big top has ended its stay that's the con, it's the carnival way you cannot win if you don't pay to play my heart is the brass ring anyone can try promise them anything just to get them in to take the ride if it seems like a dream like you've been played, just somebody's pawn try to remember the clown's smile is painted on that's the con, it's the carnival way you cannot win if you don't pay to play © 2015 floyd jane.
