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! |
