Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Rocking horse has turned to dust
Ashes on the line
Ship of dreams has turned to rust
Happens every time

[Chorus]
Silver turns to gold
Same old talk, seems so old
I need a drink to keep my fever down
When the moon comes out shine
Spare the rod and pour some wine
Just keep on keepin on
I'll be here when the carnival is gone

[Verse 2]
Lets go back to yesterday
If only for a song
Brother come on out and play
You can still sing along

[Chorus]
Silver turns to gold
Same old talk, seems so old
I've rolled the painted lady
When I'm down
When the moon comes out shine
Hold the force and drink some wine
Just keep on keepin' on
I'll be here for the carnival

[Bridge]
One of these days you'll see the sound
Flyin' 'bout 10 feet off the ground
Wanna stay lost until I'm found
Just keep on keepin' on
I'll be here when the carnival is gone

[Chorus]
Silver turns to gold
Same old talk, seems so old
I need another drink before I drown
When the moon comes out shine
Spare the rod and pour some wine
Just keep on keepin' on
I'll be here when the carnival is gone
