Carnival Song |
The singer cries for people’s lies |
He will sing for the day to bring him night |
The circus burns in carnival flame |
And for a while you won’t know my name at all |
But sing and dance and love for pennies and gold |
The juggling clown smiles to me |
And every frown we agree is glad |
The nighttime comes to bring the bums |
From Bowery heat to crimson streets of wine |
But magic lands will never touch our sands |
Your children smile in single file |
They learn mistakes that others make |
They see although they cannot know |
The needs they’ll need to have their greed grow wild |
But dance and sing, for others bring the shame |
And for a while you won’t know my name |
