carnival

1) it’s carnival and the fallen are dancing
dressed in their festival bones
you see the queen of the damned
with a smile so entrancing
satan is her chaperone

2) it’s carnival and the alleys are steaming
hot as the deep pits of
you hear a sound from your lips
is it laughing or screaming
in such a place who can tell

chorus but it’s all just a game, who can blame them
if they go quite insane once a year
let your passions enflame, don’t restrain them
never try to explain it ‘cause here

3) it’s carnival and it’s crawling with danger
even your soul’s in disguise
you look in the mirror
and you see there a stranger
and she has death in her eyes

chorus

5) it’s carnival and the pall bearer’s grinning
his coffin he pounds like a drum
you know the dead are all drunk
and the saints are all sinning
baptised in whiskey and rum

chorus
