Carnies |
| Under the gaze of the eight elms, |
| A spectacle like you’ve never seen: |
| Spinning lights and faces, |
| Demon music and gypsy queens! |
| The glint of iron wheels! |
| The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
| Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
| A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
| How I pray just to get away, |
| To carry me anywhere. |
| Sometimes the angels punish us By answering our prayers, |
| By answering our prayers… |
| The face of naked evil |
| Turns a young boy’s blood to ice; |
| The daily confrontation; |
| Such a dangerous device. |
| The glint of iron wheels! |
| The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
| Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
| A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
| Oh, shout toward the crowd; |
| Laughed elation ringing loud! |
| (Indistinguishable) marks in the hands of the innocent. |
| The angry crowd moves towards him with mal-intent. |
| How I pray just to get away, |
| To carry me anywhere. |
| Sometimes the angels punish us By answering our prayers, |
| By answering our prayers… |
| The glint of iron wheels! |
| The bodies spin in a clockwork dance! |
| Oh, the smell of flint and steel! |
| A wheel of fate, a game of chance! |
