Lyrics

All the boys on the avenue, She's already kissed them good-bye, And like sparks from the summer night fire- works, She's all ready to fly, And her body's saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, There's a wildness that clings to her hair, And her blue eyes are pulling you near, Oh they shine so bright, Shining like carnival lights. She talked about leaving, But nobody paid her much mind, You see her words made them feel like she'd already left them behind, Then she took a train that was Baltimore bound, And in the distance, The lights of her town, They faded back into the sound that called across the night, Calling like carnival lights. Then they danced together, The moonlight and the water, The train, the girl, the coast, And you could see her through the window, Spinning and shimmering bright, Just like the carnival lights. All the boys on the avenue, There standing here waitin' for a sign, But now she's down in the Florida winter ground, Throwing kisses to the sky, And her body's saying, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, There's a wildness that clings to her new black hair, And her blue eyes are pulling you near, Oh they shine so bright, Shining like carnival lights, See her shine so bright, Shining like carnival lights, So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
