Carnival (lyrics/dalszöveg)

The carnival hall put on its dress
And now it looks so pretty
Tonight the men wear their skirts
While the women drink all the beer
This night the legs are loose
And the room is ready to spin
That pretty little church has turned its lights off
It's better if God goes to sleep
On the street there's a clown hanging on strings
And that's all about him
The magician has shuffled his cards but he lost his six of spades
Now the children are crying
As that shitty little trick got fucked up
But the carnival is at the gate
And it's ready to start
They step to the right they step to the left
Their drums go bang bang
The bells in church go jingle-jang
Tonight the saints are somewhere else
This could turn out catastrophic
As we might fall in love
Hey buddy my cup is empty
Come and stumble to the bar
A pint for me and a pint for my friend
And two shots of encouragement
The night is my brother in crime
Mr. Barman not that you would care
I'm here for a girl I'll have to ask her to come and dance with me
And if I make it through the night and I'm still alive I‘ll kiss her on the lips
Now the strings are broken the clown is flat out
The children are laughing at the dead man's yard
The band started to play
The room started to spin
I'm certain I will kiss her on the lips
There's a gypsy and his monkey entertaining the crowd
I've seen dancers and Hamlet himself in the carnival
It's a shame that Yorick cannot be here
Kings of jesters and all the clowns
Here is my heart my little darling
Keep it safe for the carnival
Thousand fairy light shinning our path
Put your hip into my hand and let's go to the carnival
Thousand fairy light shinning our path
Put your hip into my hand and let's go to the carnival
I fixed the strings the clown is dancing
I kissed her on this carnival
The room is spinning my cup is empty
I haven't slept since the carnival
This turned out catastrophic as we fell in love
Hey buddy come and hold me
And let's go back to the carnival
Hey buddy come and hold me
And let's go back to the carnival
