My Name Is Carnival

I've seen your face in every place that I'll be goin'
 
 I read your words like black hungry birds read every song
 Rise and fall
 Spin and call
 And my name
 Is carnival
 ♪
 Sad music in the night
 Sings a scream of light out of And voices you might hear appear and disappear
 In the forest
 Short and tall throw the ball
 And my name is 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
 But the arcade's penny claw
 Hanging empty
 The painted laughing smile
 And the turning of the style
 Do not envy
 And the small
 Can steal the ball
 To touch the face
 Of carnival
 The fat woman frowns
 At screaming frightened clowns
 That move enchanted
 And a shadow lie and waits
 Outside your iron gates
 With one wish granted
 Colours fall
 Throw the ball
 Play the game
 Of carnival
 Without a thought of size
 You come to hypnotize
 The danger
 The world that comes apart
 Has no single heart
 When life is stranger
 Wheel and call
 Clawed dreams all
 In the name
 Of carnival
 Wheel and call
 Clawed dreams all
 In the name
 Of carnival
