Every Duke and every Dame,
gather round to play some games
with us, we will guide you through
the darkness that we bring to you
Here is what we have to say
The Dukes are here for you to play
and scream as you lose your mind
Come wander on the other side!
Let go of all your doubt, leave it to the night
be prepared to shout
as we invite you to stay and play, get lost in twisted ways
of the dukes and their dames playing naughty games
Welcome to the Carnival
ROCK!
Are you lost or are you free?
Are you reveling in mysteries?
Are you scared of letting go
of everything that you know?
Will you stay? will you play?
will you let yourself drift away ?
have you seen the obscene?
do you know what we mean when we say?
Welcome to the Carnival
ROCK!
Keep your eyes peeled, 'cuz you never know,
what you might miss, so don't miss this show
grab your hats and your coats, your stockings and a broach
bring your face and your feet and what's left in between
Get ready for a night an evening of dreams
and delight or so it seems to the eye
So stay and play, get lost in twisted ways
of the Dukes and their Dames playing naughty games
Welcome to the Carnival
ROCK!
Are you lost or are you free?
Are you reveling in mysteries?
Are you scared of letting go
of everything that you know?
Will you stay? will you play?
will you let yourself drift away ?
have you seen the obscene?
do you know what we mean when we say?
Welcome to the Carnival
ROCK!
ROCK!
ROCK!
aaaaah hahaha ROCK!
ROCK!
Welcome to the Carnival
Welcome to the Carnival
Welcome to the Carnival
ROCK!

LYRICS
I want you to close your eyes and count to three
I need you all by my side, come sway with me
Swing your self from your head to your toes
Feel the swing deep down in your bones
Lose yourself, just swing away
Lose yourself and sway
Won't you sway? Sway my way?
Won't you move to my groove?
Won't you dance and sing with me?
Let's let loose and
GO CRAZY
GO CRAZY
I want you to raise your hands so you can be
Free from these troubled lands, come sway with me
Swing your self from your head to your toes
Feel the swing deep down in your bones
Lose yourself, just swing away
Lose yourself and sway
Won't you sway? Sway my way?
Won't you move to my groove?
Won't you dance and sing with me?
Let's let loose and
GO CRAZY
GO CRAZY
Come and play!
I want to hear you scream!
(GO CRAZY)
Do you want to play?
Come and PLAY!
(GO CRAZY)
Yes! Yes! Yes!
La La La, La La Ah Oh, La Ah Oh

Fairytale

What is this magic that I'm seeing right before my eyes?
What is this feeling I'm revealing spawned inside my core?
It's somewhat strange yet so familiar, have I been Jinxed?
Cuz I want more (more more)
I feel I'm slipping somewhat tripping, I'm drifting away, forevermore
This is a psycho-fortune telling fairytale
if you look deep within the fable will unfold (or so I'm told)
She'll grab a hold of all your senses,
you're wrapped so tight around (her little finger)
She'll charm her way reach to your center and strip you bare
with a green eyed stare yea
She'll tug away at all those strings that she's attached to your heart
(Skipping, Racing, Beating)
You'll feel her gripping,twisting, tearing and pulling you apart
How did this start?
This is a psycho-fortune telling fairytale
So why don't you look deep within the fable will unfold (or so I'm told)
Blinded by clouds and crystals, lost our way
Under her spell it seems we're trapped (trapped) in fear
Here to stay - Stay!
The silouettes from all around you consume the air that you breathe
Can you face the shadows of your visions as they come to life?
This is a psycho-fortune telling fairytale
If you look deep within the fable will unfold (or so I'm told)
Blinded by clouds and crystals, lost our way
Under her spell it seems we're trapped (trapped) in fear
Here to stay - Stay!

Ha Ha! Ha Ha! Wooooooooah!
I can't help this mood I'm in and I want you to let me in
I feel it creep beneath my skin,
it turns my little smile into a naughty grin
Feel it creep up on you too, can't help but feel you're in the mood
You feel it creep beneath your skin, it turns your little smile into a naughty grin
Ha Ha! Ha Ha! Wooooooooah!
Ha Ha Hey!
The way you move, makes me want to simply lose my mind
The way you stare, sends shivers down my spine (Hey!)
Won't you let me taste? Come on, just one bite - tonight
You'll be my Jacking Queen
King is who I want to be, a Duke held high like royalty!
On you knees now take a bow,
I'll be sure to hold your hair back when you kiss my crown
Ha Ha! Ha Ha! Wooooooooah!
The way you move, makes me want to simply lose my mind (Hey!)
The way you stare, sends shivers down my spine (Hey!)
Won't you let me taste? Come on, just one bite - tonight
You'll be my Jacking Queen
The way you move, makes me want to simply lose my mind (Hey!)
The way you stare, sends shivers down my spine (Hey!)
Won't you let me taste? Come on, just one bite - tonight
You'll be my Jacking Queen
My Jacking Queen
Jacking Queen!

Party with the Dukes

Now here's a little tune that will make you want to move
You'll feel it in your feet and you'll feel it in your shoes
Clap your hands to the beat, you've got nothing to lose
Just be sure to stay true to the chaos of the groove (Ha ha haa)
Dance with the dukes and move with the notes
Rock your bodies lets get naughty and forget all that we know
Move with the dukes and dance to the notes
Rock your bodies lets get naughty and forget all that we know
(No! No! Ahh!)
There's a party with the Dukes of Note
There's a party wherever we go (let's go!) and
If you follow suit, you'll discover the unknown
Come party with the Dukes of Note
Its time for you to be the untamed ego that you hide and
Release the insanity that you are! (Aaaargh!)
Undo your hair, show some skin,
whether you're plump (bend) or awfully thin
We care less than you think and its so easy when you drink
(Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink, Drink - Hey!)
Do you still stand or are you numb?
Feeling grand or just plain drunk?
To the chaos you must succumb! (so much fun!)
So let it flow from the drums as the floor begins to crumble!
As you listen to our strums you want more! (make it a double!)
(More, More, More, More, More - Hey!)
Dance with the dukes and move with the notes
Rock your bodies lets get naughty and forget all that we know
Move with the dukes and dance to the notes
Rock your bodies lets get naughty and forget all that we know
There's a party with the Dukes of Note
There's a party wherever we go (let's go!) and
If you follow suit, you'll discover the unknown
Come party with the Dukes of Note - Here we go!
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! )
