All the trolls in the highlands wake up
Singing out of time
Putting on their costume makeup
In the pale moonlight
And your painted grimaces all look so heavenly tonight
It just seems obvious
The carnival is calling us away
But you don't know what the people say
Is it me or doesn't it all sound the same
You don't look back again
'cause the road is dark and
This place is happening
The paint is bright enough to fade it all away
The townsfolk fall for us
They take us in and we rob them every day
We hide away all the coins we save
And pretty soon we'll all go far far away
You don't look back again
'cause the road is dark and
This place is happening
The paint is bright enough to fade it all away
All your sons are well and able
Dreaming on their bedtime fables
Lilac in your jacket pockets
Chase us off like bottle rockets
I can hear the storm what's a little rain
To someone born on the boundary lines
I want to know what you're gonna say
When the morning fades your hysterics away
All the trolls in the highlands wake up
Singing out of time
Putting on their costume makeup
In the pale moonlight
All the westfjord paupers say don't
Ever make a sound
Picking up their horns as they go
No you can't push me around
Banks are calling us away
I can't stay, i can't stay
Sons are waving out to sea
Tears on me, tears on me
Banks are calling us away
I can't stay, i can't stay
Sons are waving out to sea
Tears on me, tears on me
Hags are burning up inside
Serves you right, serves you right
Elves are hiding underground
Weirds me out, weirds me out
Hags are burning up inside
Serves you right, serves you right
Elves are hiding underground
Weirds me out, weirds me out
