Festival

Lyrics: Bob Weir
Music: Bob Weir

Played by Bob Weir with many of his bands

Hey, if crazy's what you want, there's way too much to miss, at the festival
If you're looking for romance, well you can find this, down at the festival
Or maybe some adventure, maybe with a little twist, down at the festival
Yeah the festival, festival

Plenty color in the sun, but look out for the shade, at the festival
If you're lookin' for some fun, you got it made, down at the festival
Don't need no excuse to have a parade, down at the festival
Hey the festival, festival

Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want

Leapers, lepers, lunatics, hustlers, whores and thieves
Fortune tellers, diplomats and some you won't believe
Play for fun and play for keeps, you know they play with fire too
And comes the veil of the night, God knows what they do
World of wonder, watch the temperature climb

Everyone's a different breed, fast and loose is in style, at the festival
You won't get far on greed, or on bluff or on guile, down at the festival
Most anything you need, you can get it with a smile, at the festival
Festival, festival

But you didn't know, the circus is in town, yeah the festival
When you go downtown, just take a look around, it's the festival
Just trade in your reservations, for a night of gettin' down, down at the festival
Festival, festival

Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything you want

Hey they'll be reachin' in your pockets, they'll be puttin' you on
But what you got to lose, that's already gone
They got one of every kind, crazies, clowns and kings
No tellin' what you're gonna find, some most amazing things
Yeah roll the thunder, let the bells chime
Until they put me under, it's festival time

Yeah the festival
