Theme: Carnival

My spirit's dull
Nothing like a carnival
But when I'm with you
That carousel
Starts to spin
Spirit's now alive
Your eyes
They're filled with spinning lights
You bring me to life
Tonight though
I cry
My spirit almost dies
Goodbye
Tonight's the night I'm gone from mind
The night the carnival dies
The carousel screeches to a stop
Yet I'm still atop
The hillside of life
Cause through this
I still have to live
Too stubborn to die
No more spinning lights
But sunset from the hillside
That's enough light
To reflect from my moist eyes
Sun's going down
Goodnight
Goodbye
Don't cry
You still have wings to fly
So fly
Fly for me, tonight
And for the final time
I say goodnight

Carnival. What a strangely happy word for a broken place as this, she thought, nudging a metal bar away with her foot. It really was hard to believe that this place once was a playground, where children laughed and had fun. The whole landscape was an ashy grey, littered with rusty pieces of metal. A circular wheel with suspended seats loomed in the corner, tilting forward at an unnatural angle. Broken down shops surrounded the outer edges of a street leading up to the wheel, their faded signs hanging lopsided. Walking past, the girl ducked her head into one not-as-broken stall and saw decomposing, filthy Common Era toys- a brown teddy bear whose dark beady eyes were the only thing intact of its face. The eyes were unnerving, like the toy had suffered through unspeakable acts. She shoved her hand inside and took hold of the toy, pulling it free from the wreckage and walked back to her hovership and placed the toy on her control panel. As she initiated the lifting manoeuvres, her fingers dancing across the array of buttons and levers, she stared at it, pondering the fact that, in another life, the stuffed toy would probably have been in the hands of a small, cute little child who would’ve been bursting with innocent joy at the sight of the bear in its former glory.

If you're livin' in a bubble and you haven't got a care
Well, you're gonna be in trouble 'cause we're gonna steal your air
'Cause what you got is what we need and all we do is dirty deeds
We're the Spaceballs! Watch out, 'cause we're the Spaceballs
We're the masters of space
Hey, don't mess around with the Spaceballs.Uh!
Going cruisin' in a spaceship, we're so good at being bad
We'll destroy your little planet if you ever get us mad
