lyrics

EMILY – NICKERSON/PORTER

LIKE A CARNIVAL RIDE IN THE RAIN
SHE’S TECHNICOLOR IN A SKY OF GRAY
SHE’S GOT A MILLION WORDS THAT SHE CAN’T QUITE SAY
OH EMILY CAN YOU COME OUT TODAY

SHE STAMMERS & STUTTERS & DANCES & CRIES
LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING OF JAGGED LINES
I WANNA HEAR WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY
OH EMILY CAN YOU COME OUT TO PLAY

THERE’S A GALAXY IN HER EYES
LIKE CONFETTI FLYING THROUGH THE SKY
EVERYONE WANTS HER TO CHANGE BUT I DON’T

SHE’S DREAMING OF THE BREEZE
SHE’S FLYING ON THE TRAPEZE
SEE THE FACES DOWN BELOW IN THE TENT LIGHT GLOW
THE SMELL OF THE HAY, THE CARAMEL CORN
THE GLITTER AND GOLD OF THE SIDE SHOW

HER DRESS IS TORN AND HER FEET ARE BARE
I LOVE HER CAUSE SHE DOESN’T CARE

THERE’S A GALAXY IN HER EYES
LIKE CONFETTI FLYING THROUGH THE SKIES
EVERYONE WANTS HER TO CHANGE BUT I DON’T

LIKE A CARNIVAL RIDE IN THE RAIN
SHE’S TECHNICOLOR IN A SKY OF GRAY
