It’s thirteen o’clock, and that means the clock is asleep.
Dreamin’ about robotic sheep.
At thirteen o’clock, time seems to stop, and then
The magic carnival is back again.

I just woke up to get a drink of water
But in the hallway, there’s a pink koala
Hmmm– I think I oughta blink harder
I gotta pinch my arm to see if I’m asleep, it’s darker
Than midnight, in this light, it’s hard to see
And so a carnival is what the world starts to be
Look – there’s a ferris wheel – it’s right there – it’s real
In the living room – the place where my parents chill
And a carousel right next to it.
Playin’ the best music – shall we jump on? “Let’s do it!”
It spins like the hands on a clock
But I look and the clock on the mantle has stopped.
With both hands on the 13. and I’m sure it means
The clock is asleep, and we’re in its dreams.
Don’t worry – it seems like a fun dream to me
So let’s run around and see what we can see.

It’s thirteen o’clock, and that means the clock is asleep.
Dreamin’ about robotic sheep.
At thirteen o’clock, time seems to stop, and then
The magic carnival is back again.

Look! There’s a unicorn playin’ a flugelhorn.
And a firefly in a firefighter’s uniform.
Are ghosts supposed to ride a roller coaster?
How can those dogs play poker usin’ only jokers?
I hope we’re getting’ closer to the fun house
Cause time is runnin’ out- cause when the sun is out
This carnival is gonna’ get gone, it’ll stop
And disappear forever like a missing sock
But for now, it’s unusual and beautiful.
You can go watch trolls play a musical.
It’s like the clock went to sleep and built a world
Out of starlight, bumper cars, and tilt-a-whirls.
Where purples elves wear turtle shells
When they ride rainbows so they don’t hurt themselves.
And nothin’s faster than a rocket-powered cheetah.
But nothin’ looks weirder than a chimpanzeebra.

It’s thirteen o’clock, and that means the clock is asleep.
Dreamin’ about robotic sheep.
At thirteen o’clock, time seems to stop, and then
The magic carnival is back again.

Yo – let’s go everyplace, let’s sing and celebrate
Let’s ride the water slide full of pink lemonade.
Let’s throw darts at balloons and win teddy bears
And ride go-carts to the moon...“I’m already there!”
Wow! Well, grab some green cheese for me, please.
I’m in this tunnel made of funnel cakes – help me eat these
Stood in line for the time machine but the ride was quick
Now I’m tryin’ to get to the pirate ship
Ask directions from a coyote but he howled
So I tried to ask the owls but they only talk in vowels
So how will I ever know - forget it, though
Cause now I feel the air gettin’ cold like an Eskimo.
I feel somethin’ start and somethin’ stop.
And in the dark I see that it’s one o’clock.
I look around and the carnival is gone again
Look at the clock, and there’s no 13 on it, man!

It’s thirteen o’clock, and that means the clock is asleep.
Dreamin’ about robotic sheep.
At thirteen o’clock, time seems to stop, and then
The magic carnival is back again.
