Lyrics
new lives for old
where i could find the man
Step right this way, they tell me something happened
Now he shouts what sounds like foolishness, now most september afternoons
and someone came to take his place
They say he ran a carnival, cause ever since that afternoon
Now he shouts what sounds like foolishness, have i got a deal for you today
Have i got a deal for you today, i thought i ought to stop and see, have i got a deal for you today
And get your new lives for old, and get your new lives for old Watson, and get your new lives for old
There was someone on that corner, new lives for old, step right this way
Thank god that crazy fool, as the people come and go
Where he used to sell the show, it s like the old man died
Have i got a deal for you today, some say he lost his mind For, have i got a deal for you today
And get your new lives for old, warm hearts for cold Old, some say he lost his mind
cause i m pushing the same thing
He shut it down, some say he lost his mind Lives, i thought i ought to stop and see
i ll take up where he left off then
Warm hearts for cold, now most september afternoons Old, new lives for old
a smile upon his wrinkled face
I ll take up where he left off then, new lives for old
It s like the old man died, he goes from door to door New, and get your new lives for old
they tell me something happened
As the people come and go, he puts it in the paper, that used to come to town
to come back for more
To come back for more, where he used to sell the show, as i once passed through that town
