I've seen your face
In every place
That I'll be goin'
I read your words
Like black hungry birds
Read every poem
Rise and fall
Spin and call
And my name
Is carnival
Sad music in the night
Sings a scream of light
Out of chorus
And voices you might hear
Appear and disappear
In the forest
Short and tall
Throw the ball
Let's play the game
Of carnival
Strings of yellow tears
Drip from black wire fears
In the meadow
And their white halos spin
With an anger that is thin
And turns to sorrow
King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival
Here there is no law
Just the arcade's penny claw
Hanging empty
A painted laughing smile
And the turning of the style
I do not envy
King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival
Colors fall
Throw the ball
Let's play the game
Carnival
Colors fall
Throw the ball
Let's play the game
Carnival
