Here's the story and the low-key performance of their song carnival lights.
Let's check it out
[A] Carnival lights, uh, that's a bit of a half fictional half of you know real story.
[C] It's um
you know about [G] someone who really wasn't loved enough and tried to take [D] their own [Am] life and
You [Gm] know, it's kind of a darker [A] song
But it uh, it's oddly one of the crowd [A] favorites when we play all throughout the venues [G] in Texas
[A] People kind of dig that one a whole lot.
[Am] Oh Yeah
Well,
[F#m] let her sleep [A] tonight
She's sitting on the top.

[F#] I never saw her again, they say she's fading [A] away.
She's ghosted on the house that ain't [F#m] even hers.
[A] She's locked herself in her room.
[F#m] She's a moanin' uncivil, but she's howlin' at [A] the moon.
And thinks she can be saved by her [F#m] mama's voice.
[D] They don't [A] play her right [D] tonight, it never [A] does any time.
[C#]
So she stays lonely, [D] well, [E] her poison is [F#m] that medicine bottle.
[D] Filled [E] with nothin' but [F#] her own [F#m] shortcomings.
[D] She leans her head [E] back, she puts her down, and they say it's [F#m] all right.
[D] Because she's trying to [E] stay [A] conscious tonight.
[F#m]
[A]
[F#m] [D]
The red and blue lights, [C#] all those sirens through her shutters [A] make.
The shadows [E] dance like demons [F#m] through her room.
[D]
Her eyes are rollin' up, [E] you know her night is [A] endin' soon.
Well, these old carnival
[F#m] lights won't let her eyes sleep [A] tonight.
She's sittin' on the top [F#m] of a Ferris wheel car and she's goin' [C#] down.
[D] Well, [E] her poison is [F#] that medicine bottle.
[D] Filled [E] with nothin' but [F#] her own [F#m]
