Erland and The Carnival - My Name Is Carnival Songtexte

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
But the arcade's penny claw
Hanging empty
The painted laughing smile
And the turning of the style
Do not envy

King of all
Hear me call
Hear my name
Carnival

Colours fall
Throw the ball
Let's play the game
Of carnival

Colours fall
Throw the ball
Let's play the game
Of carnival
